Definite Integral Application-
WORK
Work is the scientific term used to describe the action of a
force which moves an object. When a constant force F is
applied to move an object a distance d, the amount of work
performed is
W = F. d

The SI unit of force is the newton, (kg m/s2), and the SI unit
of distance is a meter (m). The fundamental unit of work is
one newton-meter, or a joule (J). That is, applying a force of
one newton for one meter performs one joule of work. In
Imperial units (as used in the United States), force is
measured in pounds (lb) and distance is measured in feet
(ft), hence work is measured in ft-lb

• Let F(x) be a continuous function [a , b] on
describing the amount of force being applied to
an object in the direction of travel from distance
x=a to distance x=b. The total work (W) done
on [a,b] is

W=∫ab F(x)dx.

Example 1:
A spring has a natural length of 0.2m. A 40-N force
is required to stretch (and to hold the spring) to a a
length of 0.3m. How much work is done in
stretching the spring from 0.35m to 0.38m?

Example 2:
We have a cable that weighs 2lb/ft attached to a
bucket filled with a coal that weighs 800lbs. The
bucket is initially at the bottom of a 500ft mine
shaft. Determine the amount of work required to
lift the bucket all the way up to the shaft.

Example 3: A cable weighing 3lb/ft is unwinding
from a cylindrical drum. If 50ft is already unwound,
find the work done by the force of gravity as an
additional 250ft unwound.
