When a rubber band is stretched by a distance \(x,\) it exerts a restoring force given by; \(F=(ax+bx^2),\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. What is the total work done in stretching the rubber band from its natural (unstretched) length to a length \(L\text{?}\)

1. \(\dfrac{1}{2}(aL^2+bL^3)\) 2. \(\left ( \dfrac{aL^2}{2}+\dfrac{bL^3}{3} \right ) \)
3. \(\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{aL^2}{2}+\dfrac{bL^3}{3}\right) \) 4. \((aL^2+bL^3)\)

A person pushes a box on a rough horizontal plateform surface. He applies a force of \(200~\text{N}\) over a distance of \(15~\text{m}\). Thereafter, he gets progressively tired and his applied force reduces linearly with distance to \(100~\text{N}\). The total distance through which the box has been moved is \(30~\text{m}\). What is the work done by the person during the total movement of the box?
