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
ft-lb.
(c)
\Observe the graph:
\The force required to move the object feet along the
axis is
pounds.
The work done to move the object feet along the
axis is
ft-lb.
(d)
\Observe the graph:
\The force required to move the object feet along the
axis is
pounds.
.
Substitutue corresponding values in the work done formula.
