## Use
Open the calculator page and enter values. Query-string parameters can restore and bookmark a calculation.
Example: https://askcalculators.com/calculator/work-calculator/?force=100&distance=5&angle=0

## Inputs
- force: Force magnitude (N); type=number; required; default=100; min=0
- distance: Displacement (m); type=number; required; default=5; min=0
- angle: Angle between force and displacement (degrees); type=number; required; default=0; min=0; max=180

## Outputs
- work: Work (J); format=number; primary
- parallelForce: Force component along motion (N); format=number

## Formula
W = Fd cos(θ)

## Rules
- Empty optional inputs are undefined, not zero.
- Hidden conditional inputs are ignored.
- Do not invent missing required inputs.
