Work Input & Output Work Input: The work or energy the user inputs into a machine to produce a work output. To calculate this you multiply the force of the input by the distance of the input. The Work Input is measured in Joules(J).Work Output:The work or energy the machine produces after an input force has been provided by the user.
To calculate this you multiply the force of the output by the distance of the output.
The Work Output is measured in Joules(J).
These two types of energy are crucial elements in the calculation of Mechanical Efficiency because they both help people to understand the limits of the machine they are using. These two are also crucial to eachother because without a work input a work output would never exist and without a place to output its energy a work input would would just be wasted. Mechanical Efficiency is calculated by dividing the work output by the work input and multiplying it by 100% (ME = Wout/Win x 100%). An example of work input would be you pushing the gas pedal down in your new car. An example of work output would be the car accelerating after you pushed your foot to the gas pedal.
