Problem 17 - Olympiad

A particle moves from x = 2 m to x = 6 m under the action of a force of 5 N. What will be the work done by the force?

Correct: B

Work done (W) is given by W = F × s, where F is the force applied and s is the displacement. Given, F = 5 N, s = 6 - 2 = 4 m. Substituting these values gives W = 5 × 4 = 20 J.
