Change: In 1875, Clausius was defining the "unit of work" as the kilogram-meter, based on the standard force of gravity, as "that which must be performed in order to lift a unit of weight [kilogram] through a unit of length [meter]".

Change:  Poncelet expanded the concepts of agents of work far beyond vis viva, so that it became a unifying concept of physical, chemical, and biological processes.
