Problem 1- A Force Fx, acting on a particle is shown as a function of x in the figure below.
(a) From the graph, calculate the work done by the force when the particle moves from x=0m to the following values: x=-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, and 4m.

(b) Plot the potential energy U vs,x for the range of values of x from x=-4m to x=4m assuming that U=0 at x=0. Make sure to label your axes an indicate units for each axis. (For U(x) vs,x,U(x) should be on the y-axis and x should be on the x-axis.)
Use the grid below, or separate graph paper to make your plot.
