In
physics, mechanical work is the amount of
energy transferred by a
force. Like energy, it is a
scalar quantity, with
SI units of
joules. Heat conduction is not considered to be a form of work, since there is no macroscopically measurable force, only microscopic forces occurring in atomic collisions. In the 1830s, the French mathematician
Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis coined the term work for the product of force and distance.
