Question
CBSEENPH11026163

A force F acting on an object varies with distance x as shown here. The force is in newton and distance is in metre. The work done by the force in moving the object from x = 0 to x = 6 m is

  • 4.5 J

  • 13.5 J

  • 9.0

  • 18.0 J

Solution

B.

13.5 J

The work done will be the area of the F-x graph. Work done in moving the object from x = O to x = 6 m is given by

 

W = area of rectangle + area of triangle

    = 3 × 3 +12 × 3 × 3

W   = 9 + 4.5 = 13.5 J
