Question 14 of 183

A force F⃗=(2+3x)i^\vec{F}=\left(2+3x\right)\hat{i} acts on a particle in the xx direction where FF is in Newton and xx is in meter. The work done by this force during a displacement from x=0x=0 to x=4mx=4m is _____ JJ.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 32

The formula to calculate the work done by a variable force is given by
W=∫x1x2Fdx...(1)W={\int }_{{x}_{1}}^{{x}_{2}}Fdx...\left(1\right)
Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) to calculate the required work done.

W=∫04(2+3x)dx=[2x+32x2]04=[8+24]J=32J\begin{matrix}W & = & {\int }_{0}^{4}(2+3x)dx \\ & = & {\left[2x+\dfrac{3}{2}{x}^{2}\right]}_{0}^{4} \\ & = & [8+24]J \\ & = & 32J\end{matrix}
