The force on a particle is directed along an x axis and given byF=F0(xx0-1). Find the work done by the force in moving the particle from x=0tox=x0 by (a) plotting F(x) and measuring the work from the graph and (b) integratingF(x).

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The net work done by the given force using graph is 0
  2. The net work done by the given force using integration is 0

Step by step solution

01

Given

The given force function is,

F=F0xx0-1

The particle moves from x=0tox=2x0

02

Understanding concept of calculating work done

We can use the equation of work fortheintegration method. For the graph method, the work done is equal to the area under the curve in the graph.

Formula:

W=∫xixfF(x)dxA=12×base×height

03

(a) Plot  and calculate the work done from it  

The given function of force is,

F=F0xx0-1

So,

For x=0

F = -F0

For x=x

F = 0

For x=x

F = F0

We can plot the graph of F(x) using these points as

The work done, from the graph, is simply the area under the curve.

In the above graph,we see that the area under the curve from x=0tox=2x0is equal to the area under the curve for x=0tox=2x0and both are opposite to each other

So, the work done from the graph is W=0J

04

(b) Calculate the work done by using integration method  

Using the integration method, we have

W=∫xixfFxdxW=∫02x0F0xx0-1dxW=F0x22x0-x02x0W=2x0-2x0W=0J

Therefore, work done is 0 J.

Question: Hydraulic engineers in the United States often use, as a unit of volume of water, the acre-foot, defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 acre of land to a depth of 1 ft. A severe thunderstorm dumped 2.0 in. of rain in 30 min on a town of area 26 km2. What volume of water, in acre-feet, fell on the town?

A mole of atoms is 6.20×1023atoms. To the nearest order of magnitude, how many moles of atoms are in a large domestic cat? The masses of a hydrogen atom, an oxygen atom, and a carbon atom are 1.0 u, 16 u, and 12 u, respectively. (Hint: Cats are sometimes known to kill a mole.)

Figure 28-26 shows crossed uniform electric and magnetic fields →Fand →B, at a certain instant, the velocity vectors of the 10 charged particles listed in Table 28-3. (The vectors are not drawn to scale.) The speeds given in the table are either less than or greater than (see Question 5).

Figure 10-54shows a flat construction of two circular rings that have a common center and are held together by three rods of negligible mass. The construction, which is initially at rest, can rotate around the common center (like a merry-go-round), where another rod of negligible mass lies. The mass, inner radius, and outer radius of the rings are given in the following table. A tangential force of magnitude 12.0Nis applied to the outer edge of the outer ring for 0.300s.What is the change in the angular speed of the construction during the time interval?
