### Force Acting on a Body

The only force acting on a 1.5 kg body as it moves along the \( x \)-axis varies as shown below. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by \( F_s = 4.4 \) N. The velocity of the body at \( x = 0 \) is 4.1 m/s.

#### Force vs. Displacement Graph

The graph below shows the relationship between the force \( F_x \) (in Newtons) and the displacement \( x \) (in meters).

- **X-Axis (Displacement \( x \))**: Ranges from 0 m to 5 m.
- **Y-Axis (Force \( F_x \))**: Ranges from \(-F_s\) to \(F_s\) (\(-4.4 \text{ N}\) to \(4.4 \text{ N}\)).

The force decreases linearly from \( F_s \) (4.4 N) at \( x = 0 \) to 0 at \( x = 1 \) m. It then stays at 0 from \( x = 1 \) m to \( x = 5 \) m.

#### Problem

(a) What is the kinetic energy of the body at \( x = 3.0 \) m?

**Solution:**
\[ K.E. = -4.4 \text{ J} \]

(Note: The provided solution of \(-4.4 \text{ J}\) is indicated to be incorrect.)

This educational material is designed to help students understand how force varies with displacement and how it affects the kinetic energy of a moving body.
