Practicing Success
A particle acted on by constant forces $4\hat i+\hat j-3\hat k$ and $3\hat i+\hat j-\hat k$ is displaced from the point $\hat i + 2\hat j + 3\hat k$ to the point $5\hat i +4\hat j+\hat k$. The total work done by the forces, is |
50 units 20 units 30 units 40 units |
40 units |
We have, $\vec F$ = Total force = $7\hat i+2\hat j-4\hat k$ $\vec d$ = Displacement vector = $4\hat i +2\hat j-2\hat k$ ∴ Work done = $\vec F.\vec d=(28+ 4+8)$ units = 40 units. |
