Solution

The correct option is B 125 J
We use our equation for the position-dependent forces:
W= $\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}} F (x) d x = \int_{0}^{5} 3 x 2 d x$ =[x3]05 = 53 = 125 J
The force does 125 Joules of work.

Q. A particle, starting at the origin, experiences a variable force defined by F(x) = 3x 2 , causing it to move along the x-axis. How much work is done on the particle from its starting point to x = 5 ?

\to F = (3^i + 4^j) N

acts on a particle moving in

x - y

plane . Starting from origin, the particle first goes along

x

- axis to the point

(4 m, 0)

and then parallel to the

y

- axis to the point

(4 m, 3 m)

. The total work done by the force on the particle is

\to F = (3^i + 4^j) N

F

on the particle is

\to F = - K (y^i + x^j)

K

is a positive constant, acts on a particle moving in the X-Y plane. Starting from the origin, the particle is taken along the positive X-axis to a point
