Solution

Let a force is applied along a path y = f(x) from point ‘a’ to point ‘b’, then the
work done will be
b
∂ ⃗y
W =∫ ⃗
F. dx,
a ∂x

where x = a to b is a parameter describing the process along path for example time.

Now it is given in example, the force is constant so we can simplify it

∂f⃗
b
(x)
W =⃗
F .∫ F . (⃗
dx=⃗ f ( b )−⃗
f (a ))
a ∂x

F ∧f ⃗
⃗ (x) Sign indicating the vector form of both force and displacement.
