The work done by a force acting on a body is as shown in the graph. The total work done in covering an initial distance of \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) is

  1. A \(225 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(200 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(400 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(175 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(200 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Word done \(W=\) Area ABCEFDA \(=\) Area \(\mathrm{ABCD}+\) Area CEFD

\(=\frac{1}{2} \times(15+10) \times 10+\frac{1}{2} \times(10+20) \times 5\)
\(=125+75=200 \mathrm{~J}\)
