Work by a Variable Force

A force F = 20 + 10y acts on a particle in y-direction where F is in newton and y in meter. Work done by this force to move the particle from y = 0 to y = 1 m is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. W=∫01(20+10y) dy=[20y+5y2]01W = \int_0^1 (20 + 10y)\,dy = \left[20y + 5y^2\right]_0^1
  2. W=20+5=25W = 20 + 5 = 25 J
  3. So the answer is (b) 25 J.
