Through an equation.

Explanation:

Work is represented by the equation,

#W=F*d#

  • #F# is the force in newtons

  • #d# is the distance moved in meters

Now, the distance moved is also the displacement of the object. If the object doesn't move, even if #10# millions newtons of force was applied, there'll still be no work done.

But, if an object moves, then work is done.
