Detailed Solution

$v = a \sqrt{s} \Rightarrow \frac{d s}{d t} = a \sqrt{s} \Rightarrow \frac{d s}{\sqrt{s}} = a d t \Rightarrow 2 \sqrt{s} = a t \Rightarrow s = \frac{a^{2} t^{2}}{4} F = M (v \frac{d v}{d s}) = M (a \sqrt{s}) (\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{s}}) = \frac{M a^{2}}{2} ∴ W o r k d o n e = \frac{M a^{2}}{2} \times \frac{a^{2} t^{2}}{4} = \frac{1}{8} M a^{4} t^{2}$
