$A$ force $F$ acting on an object varies with distance $x$ as shown in the graph. The force is in newton $(N)$ and $x$ is in metre $(m)$. The work done by the force in moving the object from $x = 0$ to $x = 6\,m$ is......$J$.

The components of a force acting on a particle vary according to the graphs shown. To reach point $B\, (8, 20, 0)$ from point $A\, (0, 5, 12)$,the particle moves on paths parallel to the $x$-axis,then the $y$-axis,and then the $z$-axis. The work done by this force is ............ $J$.

$A$ force $\overrightarrow F = - K(y\hat i + x\hat j)$ (where $K$ is a positive constant) acts on a particle moving in the $x-y$ plane. Starting from the origin,the particle is taken along the positive $x$-axis to the point $(a, 0)$ and then parallel to the $y$-axis to the point $(a, a)$. The total work done by the force $\overrightarrow F$ on the particle is
