Problem

A block is moved in a straight line from x=0x=0 to x=4 mx=4\,\text{m}. The force acting on the block is 5 N5\,\text{N} for the first 2 m2\,\text{m} and 3 N3\,\text{N} for the next 2 m2\,\text{m}, both directed along +x+x. Calculate the total work done by the force. a) 8 J8\,\text{J} b) 26 J26\,\text{J} c) 16 J16\,\text{J} d) −16 J-16\,\text{J}
