A person pushes a box on a rough horizontal platform surface. He applies a force of \(200\, N\) over a distance of \(15\, m .\) Thereafter, he gets progressively tired and his applied force reduces linearly with distance of \(100\, N\). The total distance through which the box has been moved is \(30\, m\). What is the work done by the person during the total movement of the box\(........J\)\(?\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5250\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F =200 N \quad\) for \(0 \leq x \leq 15\)

\(=200-\frac{100}{15}( x -15)\) for \(15 \leq x <30\)

\(W =\int F dx\)

\(=\int_{0}^{15} 200 dx +\int_{15}^{30}\left(300-\frac{100}{15} x \right) dx\)

\(=200 \times 15+300 \times 15-\frac{100}{15} \times \frac{\left(30^{2}-15^{2}\right)}{2}\)

\(=3000+4500-2250\)

\(=5250 J\)
