@Gurinder Bagha s=t^3/3 So ds=t^2 dt,
you can calculate acceleration from s that will give you a =2t
now F= ma = m2t
W= Integration F.ds (lower limit t1= 0 upper limit t2=2)
= Integration (m2t) . t^2dt
= Integration 2m t^3 dt
= 2m t^4/4
= 6 t^4/4 (as m=3kg)
Now put limits, you will get;
W = 3/2 times (2^4 -0^4)
=3/2 times 16
= 24 J

@Jyoti Grewal
W=f*s. For f we need to double differentiate s w.r.t t wich gives 2t. After solving we get none of these options

Solve as per indicated in the question. As S can also varies as 1/3(t^3)
