A position-dependent force \(F=x^{2}-3\) Newton acts on a small body of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and displaces it from \(x=0\) to \(x=5 \mathrm{~m}\). The work done is (A) \(110 \mathrm{~J}\) (B) \(\frac{80}{3} \mathrm{~J}\) (D) \(\frac{95}{2} \mathrm{~J}\) (D) Zero

Short Answer

Expert verified
The work done is \(\frac{80}{3} J\). The correct option is (B).

Step by step solution

01

1. Identify the given parameters and required output

: Force, F = x^2 - 3 N Mass of the body, m = 2 kg Initial position, x = 0 Final position, x = 5 m We need to find the work done (W).
02

2. Write down the formula for work done

: We know that the work done by a position-dependent force F(x) acting on a body when it is displaced from position x=a to position x=b is given by the formula: W = \(\int_{a}^{b} F(x)dx\)
03

3. Substitute the given values and integrate

: In this case, we need to find the work done when the body is displaced from x=0 to x=5, i.e., we need to find W = \(\int_{0}^{5} (x^2 - 3)dx\). Now, let's integrate the expression to find the work done: W = \(\int_{0}^{5} (x^2 - 3)dx\) = \(\left[\frac{x^3}{3} - 3x\right]_0^5\)
04

4. Evaluate the integral at the limits and find the work done

: Now, let's evaluate the expression at the limits x=5 and x=0: W = \(\left[\frac{(5)^3}{3} - 3(5)\right] - \left[\frac{(0)^3}{3} - 3(0)\right]\) W = \(\frac{125}{3} - 15\) Now, we simplify and find the numerical value of W: W = \(\frac{125}{3} - \frac{45}{3}\), since we need a common denominator to subtract. W = \(\frac{80}{3}\) Hence, the work done is \(\frac{80}{3} J\). The correct option is (B).
