    How to Calculate Work on an Object with Varying Position-dependent Force?

    I'm sorry I have indeed stated that incorrectly. It is: 1. The object starts at point x=x0, y=0 and moves in the y-direction to the point x=x0 and y=y1 And I think you mean that I need to integrate W=F*s? I know that if you want to write it in vectors you should write it with arrows on top of...

    How to Calculate Work on an Object with Varying Position-dependent Force?

    Homework Statement An object has several forces acting on it. One of these forces is F=alpha xy ihat, a force in the x-direction whose magnitude depends on the position of the object, with alpha (not zero). Calculate the work done on the object by this force for the following displacements of...
