(Solution) - A 4 00 kg particle moves from the origin to position C -(2025 Original AI-Free Solution)

Paper Details

A 4.00-kg particle moves from the origin to position C, having coordinates x = 5.00 m and y = 5.00 m. One force on the particle is the gravitational force acting in the negative y direction (Fig. P8.21). Using Equation 7.3, calculate the work done by the gravitational force in going from O to C along (a) OAC. (b) OBC. (c) OC. Your results should all be identical. Why?
