work
In physics, work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement. In its simplest form, it is often represented as the product of force and displacement. A force is said to do positive work if (when applied) it has a component in the direction of the displacement of the point of application. A force does negative work if it has a component opposite to the direction of the displacement at the point of application of the force.For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done by the gravitational force on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement). When the force F is constant and the angle between the force and the displacement s is θ, then the work done is given by:
W
=
F
s
cos
θ
{\displaystyle W=Fs\cos {\theta }}
Work is a scalar quantity, so it has only magnitude and no direction. Work transfers energy from one place to another, or one form to another. The SI unit of work is the joule (J), the same unit as for energy.
Hi everyone,
New to the forum and new to tiling. I am redoing my fireplace surround and wanted to do a herringbone pattern on the floor with 3x6 subway tile. I measured the middle 3 times, and dry layed the pattern out and still was off a inch on the right creating small pieces. I really took...

Hope to gauge the reaction from pro tilers on here, as the guy I’ve employed to do my kitchen floor thinks he’s doing a great job.

Would anyone here not use spacers?
Opinions welcome before he comes...
Hi, I was wondering if anybody would let me shadow them to gain a bit of tiling experience before I leave my job to take up tiling. I am able to have a month off work to gain some experience, I am from Scunthorpe but willing to travel. Thanks in advance.
I've got a ground floor of 160 MTRS to price and it's just been screeded and it has UFH I suggested ditra but the owner wants BAL flexbone , I've never used it and I'm a bit nervous as it's such a big area the tiles are big standard 600x600x10 porcelain.
