trouble understanding surplus-value extraction

Constant Capital 20 money for machines/tools and raw materials + Variable Capital 10 money for the Worker. That 10 money is enough to feed, etc him/his family for one day. The Price of Work is not the same as how much Value he adds. The Worker adds more value than 10 money in a Day, lets say he can produce 20 money value per Day. So he could just work half a day and feed his family. But the Capitalist needs to make a profit so he lets the Worker work for the entire Day, but only pays him 10 money. So the Capitalist invests 20 + 10 money and get 40 money out by selling the Commodity.
