Solution

The correct option is D
W = F x s x cos θ

Work done = Force x Component of displacement in the direction of force

i.e., W = F x s x cos θ

A variable force $F = 3 x^{2}$ is applied on an object. What is the work done to move the object from x = 0m to x = 5m?

(Assume the displacement is in the direction of force applied at all points)

\int \frac{cos (x + a)}{cos (x - a)} d x

\int \frac{cos (x - a)}{sin x} d x = cos a log | sin x | + x sin a + c

\int \frac{sin (x - a)}{cos (x - b)} d x = cos (b - a) log | sec (x - b) | + x sin (b - a) + c
