The graph given below shows a force- displacement graph. What is the total work done by force on the body in displacement from x = 0 to x= 6 m?

Question

This graph plots Force (N) against Displacement (m), forming a trapezoidal curve that shows how force varies over a 6 m distance. The area under this curve represents the total work done by the force.

Options

20 J
40 J
60 J
80 J

MCQ

Solution

40 J

Explanation:

For a variable force, work done equals the area under the force-displacement graph. The area enclosed by the graph from x = 0 to x = 6 m is 40 J, so the total work done is 40 J.
