(Work is measured in units of joules, where one joule equals one kilogram meter 2 /second 2 .) Solution.The work is the line integral W = C ∫ 42×10 6 6.3×10 6 F · dr where we have converted the distances from meters to kilometers.

Converting to day-to-day units, since one watt is the same as one Joule/second, one kilowatt-hour is the energy used by expending 1000 Joules per second (one kilowatt) for one hour (3600 seconds), namely 3.6×10 6 Joules.Thus the Revised December 6, 2006.
