Joules (J)
This is because work is energy transferred, and energy is measured in Joules.
" power "
Work done is measured in newton meters because work is the product of force and distance, and both force and distance are measured in newtons and meters, respectively. Therefore, the unit for work done is newton meters (Nm) to appropriately represent the product of these two physical quantities.
Power. It is the amount of work done per unit of time and is typically measured in watts or horsepower. The higher the power, the faster work can be done by the machine.
The rate at which work is performed is typically measured in watts, which represent the amount of work done per unit of time. It can also be measured in horsepower, which is another unit of power. The higher the wattage or horsepower, the faster work is being performed.
One definition of work is "Force acting through distance". The quantity of work is (force) multiplied by (distance through which the force acts). The 'dimension' of work is [Force] multiplied by [Distance]. "Newton" is a unit of force. "Meter" is a unit of distance. When you multiply a force measured in 'pounds', by a distance measured in 'feet', you get the amount of work done, measured in "foot-pounds". When you multiply a force measured in 'tons', by a distance measured in 'miles', you get the amount of work done, measured in "ton-miles". When you multiply a force measured in 'newtons', by a distance measured in 'meters', you get the amount of work done, measured in "newton-meters".
