Calculate the work by the force when the particle moves from x1=2(m) to x2=3(m) in the following cases: 1. The trajectory is a parabola
Example
x 4y
2
2. The trajectory is a straight line 4 y x 6
Work is a scalar, no direction. π positive work; 0 d W 0 ,
π 2 π 2 π 2 dW 0 , d W 0,

(2) Work done by a varying force: When a particle moves from A to B along a curve path, the total work ds done by the force equals the integral of F from A to B: A
