Question

Graphically, how is the work done by a constant force interpreted?
Options
A The slope of the force-versus-position curve.
B The area under the force-versus-position curve.
Correct Answer
C The maximum value of the force.
D The integral of the position with respect to force.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Work done by a constant force is interpreted graphically as the area under the force-versus-position curve. For a varying force, the total work is the total area under the curve.

Hint

Think of the graph of F vs. x; the area of the rectangle (or shape under the curve) is the work.
