Problem

A 1 kg1\,\text{kg} block slides without friction along the positive xx-axis. A horizontal force acting in the direction of motion varies with displacement according to F(x)=4x+3  NF(x)=4x+3\;\text{N}, where xx is measured in metres. The block moves from x=0x=0 to x=5 mx=5\,\text{m} in 4 s4\,\text{s}. (i) Calculate the work done by the force during this displacement. (ii) Determine the average power supplied to the block over the given time interval.
