Question

An object has several forces acting on it. One force is , a force in the x-directionen whose magnitude depds on the position of the object. The constant is . The object moves along the following path: (1) It starts at the origin and moves along the y-axis to the point (2) it moves parallel to the x-axis to the point , (3) it moves parallel to the y-axis to the point , (4) it moves parallel to the x-axis back to the origin.

How would you calculate the work done on the object by for leg (2) of the path?

Explanation / Answer

Work = vectorF . vectorx
Work = integration from 0 to x of F(x)dxcos(0)
Work = integration from 0 to x of F(x)dx.
