A force F=(20+10y)F = (20 + 10y) acts on a particle in the yy-direction where FF is in Newton and yy is in metre. The work done by this force to move the particle from y=0y = 0 to y=1y = 1 m is:

A

20 J

B

30 J

C

5 J

D

25 J

Step-by-Step Solution

When a force varies with position, the work done (WW) is calculated by integrating the force over the displacement . For a force F(y)F(y) acting in the yy-direction, the formula is:

W=y1y2F(y)dyW = \int_{y_1}^{y_2} F(y) dy

Given the force F=(20+10y)F = (20 + 10y) and the limits from y=0y = 0 to y=1y = 1 m:

  1. Set up the integral: W=01(20+10y)dyW = \int_{0}^{1} (20 + 10y) dy

  2. Integrate the expression: W=[20y+10y22]01=[20y+5y2]01W = \left[ 20y + \frac{10y^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{1} = [20y + 5y^2]_{0}^{1}

  3. Apply the limits: W=(20(1)+5(1)2)(20(0)+5(0)2)W = (20(1) + 5(1)^2) - (20(0) + 5(0)^2) W=20+5=25 JW = 20 + 5 = 25 \text{ J}

Thus, the total work done is 25 J.
