Work by a Variable Force

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

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 32

  1. W=∫04(2+3x) dx=[2x+3x22]04W = \int_0^4 (2 + 3x)\,dx = \left[2x + \frac{3x^2}{2}\right]_0^4
  2. W=8+24=32W = 8 + 24 = 32 J
  3. Work done =32= 32 J.
