Homework Statement
An applied force varies with position according to F = k1xn - k2, where n = 3, k1 = 8.3 N/m3, and k2 = 87 N. How much work is done by this force on an object that moves from xi = 6.47 m to xf = 14.9 m? Answer in units of kJ.
Homework Equations
W = k1 x4/4 ]from the integral of x1 to x2
- k2x]from x1to x2
The Attempt at a Solution
I plugged in everything, and I got 96.778 at first, then I thought I should use x33/3, then I got 6.543478 kJ.
I got both them wrong, did I do the calculation wrong? Please help, thanks. :D
