Solution

work=force*dispacement
w=fs
f=ma m=2
x=t^2/3
displacemet at t=2 is x=2^(2/3)................(1)
v=dx/dt=2/3t^((2/3)-1)
=(2/3)t^(-1/3)
a=dv/dt=(2/3)(-1/3)t^((-1/3)-1)
a=(-2/9)t^(-4/3)
acceleration at t=2 is
a=(-2/9)2^(-4/3)......(2)
therefore w=mas=2*(-2/9)2^(-4/3)*2^(2/3)
on solving
w=-0.28 joule
