37. Force $F$ on a particle moving in a straight line varies with distance $d$ as shown in the figure. The work done on the particle during its displacement of $12$ $ m$ is

[2011]

(a) $18 $ $J$

(b) $21 $ $J$

(c) $26 $ $J$

(d) $13 $ $J$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 37.(d)

Solution:

  1. (d) Work done = area under F-d graph

$ =[2 \times(7-3)]+[\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times(12-7)] $

$= 8+5$

$ = 13$ $J$
