Problem

A force acting on a body moving along the x-axis is given by $F(x)=\begin{cases} a x, & 0\le x \le 2\,\text{m} a(4 - x), & 2< x \le 4\,\text{m} \end{cases}$ where aa is a positive constant. Find the total work done by the force when the body travels from x=0x=0 to x=4 mx=4\,\text{m}. a) 8a J8a\,\text{J} b) 4a J4a\,\text{J} c) 2a J2a\,\text{J} d) 0 J0\,\text{J}
