Work, energy & power API

Computes mechanical work W=F·d·cosθ and power P=W/t (and instantaneous P=F·v) returning joules, watts, kilowatts, and horsepower plus the force component along the displacement. Answers 'How much work is done by a force?', 'What power is required to do this work in a given time?'.
