Question

The area under the force (F) versus displacement (x) graph gives work.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in examination.

I need to ask this question from Work Done by a Variable Force in section Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

Explanation: The area under this graph would be \(\int_{x1}^{x2}\)F * dx, which is work. Here x1 & x2 are two positions on the x-axis. Hence the statement is true.
