The graph shows that force
required to move the object
feet along the
axis.
(a)
\Observe the graph:
\The force required to move the object
feet along the
axis is
pounds is 6 pounds.
Work
done by the force as the object is moved from
to
is
.
Substitutue corresponding values in the work done formula.
\
The work done to move the object
feet along the
axis is
ft-lb.
(b)
\Work
done by the force as the object is moved from
to
is
.
Observe the graph:
\The force is a piecewise function.
\The value of the function in
is
.
Find the value of the function in
.
Consider the two points
and
in
.
Point -slope form of line equation:
.
Substitute
and
in the formula.

Thus,
.


The work done to move the object
feet along the
axis is
