(a) Determine an expression for W(x), the work done by the force F(x) on the block, as a function of the location of the lock .

(b) Using the numbers A= 3.00 N/m and B= 0.50 m^-1, calculate W(x) for several values of x between x=0 and x= 10.0 m. Fill these numbers into the chart below. Use the numbers in your chart to sketch W(x) on the graph paper provided. Label the axes and the sketch appropriately, clearly indicating where your calculated numbers appear on the sketch. Use a scale where each square is 1.0 Joule by 0.5 meters.

A force F(x)=Axe^-Bx (i hate) acts on an object of mass m that is free to move on a friction less x-axis. The constant A has units of N/m and the constant B has units m^-1. Before the force is applied, the object sits at rest at the origin.
