Q.
A particle moves along the x-axis from x=x1 to x=x2 under the action of a force given by F=2x. Then the work done in the process is
J & K CETJ & K CET 2003Work, Energy and Power
Solution:
Mechanical work (W) is the force applied through a distance, defined mathematically as the line integral of a scalar product of force (F) and displacement (dx) vectors W=∫Fdx
Given F=2x
hence W=x2∫x12xdx =2[x22]x2x1=x22−x21
