The treatises of mechanics,resented. To point out the introduction of modern term ., the introduction of the problems associated with friction and finally the change in the ontological status of virtual work. From simple mathematical to physical magnitude.

Arabic and Latin science of weights,efficacy of a weight on a scale is the greater the more its virtual displacement is next to the vertical. Another VWL is associated with the resistance of a weight to be lifted, which depends on the lifting entities in a given time. In formulas: . p . h . p/n . nh.

Thermodynamical approach,This chapter is devoted to the use of the VWL where to virtual work is given a mechanical meaning. In the first part, notes on mechanics derived from Pierre Duhem’s thermodynamics are presented. In the second part the derivation of a VWL from the law of conservation of energy is shown.
