    A body of mass 3 kg is under a constant force     which causes a displacement s in metres in it, given by the relation \[s=\frac{1}{3}{{t}^{2}},\] where t is in 0  second. Work done by the force in 2 s is

    A)  \[\frac{5}{19}J\]                              

    B)  \[\frac{3}{8}J\]

    C)  \[\frac{8}{3}J\]                                             

    D)  \[\frac{19}{5}J\]                                                             

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Work done by the force = force \[\times \] displacement or            \[W=F\times s\]                                .....(i) But from Newtons second law, we have Force = Mass \[\times \] Acceleration ie            \[F=ma\]                              ?..(ii) Hence, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[W=mas\] \[=m\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}} \right)s\]                               ?..(iii)                                 \[\left( \because \,\,a=\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}} \right)\] Now, we have, \[s=\frac{1}{3}{{t}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}s}{d{{t}^{2}}}=\frac{d}{dt}\left[ \frac{d}{dt}\left( \frac{1}{3}{{t}^{2}} \right) \right]\]                 \[=\frac{d}{dt}\times \left( \frac{2}{3}t \right)\]                 \[=\frac{2}{3}\] Hence, Eq. (iii) becomes                 \[W=\frac{2}{3}m\,s=\frac{2}{3}m\times \frac{1}{3}{{t}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{2}{9}m{{t}^{2}}\] Given,                 \[m=3kg,\,t=2s\] \[\therefore \]  \[W=\frac{2}{9}\times 3\times {{(2)}^{2}}=\frac{8}{3}J\]
