In the graph shown below (force vs. position), a variable force can be represented by the function, F(x) = x²
a.) Estimate the work done by this force between x = 0 m and x = 4 m by using the area under the curve, approximating this by using rectangles and/or triangles to approximate the area under the curve.
b.) find the exact work done by the force between x = 0 m and x = 4 m by integration
c.) What is the percent difference between the two values?
d.) if the object begins from rest, what is the final velocity of the object?
