Chapter 5, Problem 34(choose chapter or problem)
When a particle is located a distance \(x\) meters from the origin, a force of \(\cos (\pi x / 3)\)newtons acts on it. How much work is done in moving the particle from \(x=1\) to \(x=2 ?\) Interpret your answer by considering the work done from \(x=1\) to \(x=1.5\) and from \(x=1.5\) to \(x=2\).
