Numerical
A particle is moved along a path $AB - BC - CD - DE - EF - FA$ , as shown in figure, in presence of a force $\vec{F} = (\alpha y\hat{i} + 2\alpha x\hat{j})N$ , where $x$ and $y$ are in meter and $\alpha = -1N/m$ . The work done on the particle by this force $\vec{F}$ will be ____ Joule
Correct Answer: 0.75
Explanation:
$W = F.dr$ where $d\vec{r} = dx\hat{i} + dy\hat{j}$
$W = \alpha y dx + 2\alpha x dy$ and $\alpha = -1 N / m$
$A\to B,y = 1,dy = 0$
then $W_{A \to B} = \int \alpha y dx = \alpha 1 \int_{0}^{1} dx = \alpha = -1$
$B\to C,x = 1,dx = 0$
then $W_{B \to C} = 2\alpha 1 \int_{1}^{0.5} dy = -2\alpha (0.5) = -\alpha = 1$
$C\to D,y = 0.5,dy = 0$
then $W_{C \to D} = \int_{1}^{0.5} \alpha y dx = \alpha \cdot \frac{1}{2} \int_{1}^{0.5} dx = -\frac{\alpha}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$
$D\to E,x = 0.5,dx = 0$
then $W_{D \to E} = 2\alpha \int x dy = 2\alpha \cdot \frac{1}{2} \int_{0.5}^{0} dy = -\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$
$E\to F,y = 0,dy = 0$ then $W_{EF} = 0$
$F\to A,x = 0,dx = 0$ then $W_{F\to A} = 0$
Net work done in cycle $W = \frac{3}{4} J = 0.75J$ .
$W = \alpha y dx + 2\alpha x dy$ and $\alpha = -1 N / m$
$A\to B,y = 1,dy = 0$
then $W_{A \to B} = \int \alpha y dx = \alpha 1 \int_{0}^{1} dx = \alpha = -1$
$B\to C,x = 1,dx = 0$
then $W_{B \to C} = 2\alpha 1 \int_{1}^{0.5} dy = -2\alpha (0.5) = -\alpha = 1$
$C\to D,y = 0.5,dy = 0$
then $W_{C \to D} = \int_{1}^{0.5} \alpha y dx = \alpha \cdot \frac{1}{2} \int_{1}^{0.5} dx = -\frac{\alpha}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$
$D\to E,x = 0.5,dx = 0$
then $W_{D \to E} = 2\alpha \int x dy = 2\alpha \cdot \frac{1}{2} \int_{0.5}^{0} dy = -\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$
$E\to F,y = 0,dy = 0$ then $W_{EF} = 0$
$F\to A,x = 0,dx = 0$ then $W_{F\to A} = 0$
Net work done in cycle $W = \frac{3}{4} J = 0.75J$ .
