A lumbering battle tank's treads applied wildly varying forces in order to propel it to move forward. One such tank applied F(x) = 10 * ((1 - exp(-0.03x2)) + 0.2cos(x)) Newtons of force. If the work exerted by the tank results to 50J, find the distance traveled by the tank (by at least 1 decimal place).

Question

The battle tank was first fielded by the United Kingdom in order to end the WW1 trench warfare in northern France. While the direct military impact of the tank can be debated, its effect on the Germans was immense as it caused bewilderment, terror and concern in equal measure. Upon sight of these strange-looking machines carrying large cannons, the Germans practically evacuated their trench dugouts.
