MCQ
A body constrained to move along $y-$ axis is subjected to a constant force $\vec F = -\hat i + 2\hat j+ 3\hat k\,\,N$ . The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of $4\, m$ along $y-$ axis is ............... $\mathrm{J}$
  • A
    $4$
  • $8$
  • C
    $12$
  • D
    $24$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$8$
b
Here, $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=(-\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \mathrm{N}$

As the body moves a distance of $4 \mathrm{m}$ along

$\mathrm{y}$ $-axis,$

$\therefore \overrightarrow{\mathrm{d}}=4 \hat{j} \mathrm{m}$

Work doen by the given force is

$\mathrm{W}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{d}}=(-\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \mathrm{N}) \cdot(4 \hat{\mathrm{j}} \mathrm{m})=8 \mathrm{J}$
