The force shown in the figure(Figure 1) moves an object from x = 0 to x = 0.75 m.
1/How much work is done by the force?
2/How much work is done by the force if the object moves from x = 0.20 m to x = 0.55 m ?

Answer:

(a) The force changes its magnitude with respect to displacement, hence the total work will be sum of increment of work in three steps:-

step 1 . from 0 to 0.25m .

force = 0.6 N

displacement= 0.25m

work done =( force × displacement) = (0.25 × 0.6 ) = 0.15 joule.

step 2:- .

work done in moving from 0.25 to 0.50 m.

work done = ( force × displacement) = ( 0.4 × 0.25) = 0.10 Joule. .

step 3 :-

work done in moving from 0.50 to 0.75 m

work done = 0.8 × 0.25 = 0.200 joule.

hence total work done = ( 0.20+0.10+0.15) = 0.45 joule. ans

(b) similar concept you have to use here also.

step 1:

from 0.20 to 0.50, force of magnitude 0.4 N acts on the object.

Work done = ( 0.50-0.20)× 0.4 = 0.30 × 0.4 = 0.12 joule.

step :- 2

from 0.50 to 0.55 , force of magnitude 0.8 N acts on the block.

work done = 0.8× ( 0.55- 0.50) = 0.04 joule

total work done = 0.04 + 0.12 = 0.16 joule. ans
