2. A particle of mass 4 kg is moving along the horizontal \(x\)-axis under the action of a single force which acts in the positive \(x\)-direction. At time \(t\) seconds the force has magnitude \(\left( 1 + 3 t ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } \right) \mathrm { N }\).
When \(t = 0\) the particle has speed \(2 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in the positive \(x\)-direction. Find the work done by the force in the interval \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 4\)
