As a young man, Tarzan climbed up a vine to reach his tree house. As he got older, he decided to build and use a staircase instead. Since the work of the gravitational force mg is path Independent, what did the King of the Apes gain in using stairs?
The force acting on a particle varies as shown in Figure P6.14. Find the work done by the force on the particle as it moves (a) from x = 0 to x = 8.00 m, (b) from x = 8.00 m to x= 10.0 m, and (c) from x = 0 to x = 10.0 m.
A particle moving in the xy -plane is subject to a force F(x,y)=(50Nm2)(xi+yj)( x 2 + y 2 )3/2 , where x and y are in meters. Calculate the work done on the particle by this force, as it moves in a straight line from the point (3 in, 4 m) to the point (8 in, 6 in).
