Answer

The unit for work is N*m (Newton meters).

Work Step by Step

Work is equal to force times distance. We know that the Newton, given by the variable N, is the SI unit for force. The unit for distance is the meter, given by the variable m. Therefore, the unit for work, given by force times distance, must be N*m (Newton meters).
