Q128 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (05 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

Consider a force $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{Kx}^3$, which acts on a particle at rest. The work done by the force for displacement of $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is $\left(\mathrm{K}=2 \mathrm{Nm}^{-3}\right)$

  • A
    $10 \mathrm{~J}$
  • B
    $4 \mathrm{~J}$
  • C
    $100 \mathrm{~J}$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $8 \mathrm{~J}$

Solution

Work done $=\int \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{dx}}$ $=\int_0^2 \mathrm{Kx}^3 \mathrm{dx}=2 \times\left[\frac{\mathrm{x}^4}{4}\right]_0^2=\frac{2}{4}\left[2^4-0^4\right]=8 \mathrm{~J}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
