Homework Statement
A CD case slides along a floor in the positive direction of an x-axis while an applied force Fa acts on the case. The force is directed along the x-axis and has the x component Fax = 7.0x – 2.0x^2, with x in meters and Fax in Newtons. The case starts at rest at the position x = 0, and it moves until it is again at rest. (a) At what position is the work maximum, and (b) what is that maximum value? (c) At what position has the work decreased to zero? (d) At what position is the case again at rest?
Homework Equations
W=∫Fdx
Wmax=Fdcos1
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought of using W=∫Fdx, since the function I was given includes both the displacement and the force. However, I don't know how to find the Wmax like this.
