Question

The force acting on a particle varies as in the figure below. (The x axis is marked in increments of 0.500 m.)

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled x (m) and a vertical axis labeled Fx (N). There are five points, connected by straight lines in order from A to E.
  • Point A is at (0,0). 
  • Point B is at (2,6). 
  • Point C is at (4,0). 
  • Point D is at (5,−3). 
  • Point E is at (6,0).

Find the work done by the force as the particle moves across the following distances.

(a) from x = 0 m to x = 4.00 m
