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 54 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.
\
.
Find the value of the functio 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 160 ft-lb.
