Mechanical work from force and displacement (vector) ==================================================== Work is measured result of force applied. Mechanical work is the only reason for the object energy to be changed. Work is a scalar value equal to the dot product of force and displacement vectors. **Notation:** #. :math:`\left( \vec a, \vec b \right)` (:code:`dot(a, b)`) is the dot product between vectors :math:`\vec a` and :math:`\vec b`. ..
