1. A particle is subject to a force `F_x` that varies with position as shown in the figure. Find the work done by the force on the particle as it moves (a) from `x = 0` to `x = 5.00 m`, (b) from `x = 5.00 m` to `x = 10.0 m`, (c) from `x = 10.0 m` to `x = 15.0 m`. (d) What is the total work done by the force over the distance `x = 0` to `x = 15.0 m`?
