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.
(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 9 ft-lb.
(d)
\Observe the graph,
\The force required to move the object feet along the
axis is
