MCQ
A particle is pushed by forces $2\hat{\text{i}}+3\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}$ and $5\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}$ simultaneously and it is displaced from point $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ to point $2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}$. The work done is:
  • A
    $7$ units.
  • $-7$ units.
  • C
    $10$ units.
  • D
    $-10$ units.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-7$ units.
Net force, $=2\hat{\text{i}}+3\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}+}5\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}$
$=7\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-5\hat{\text{k}}$
Diolacement, $\text{d}=2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}-}\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}-\hat{\text{k}}$
$=\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$
Work done $=\text{F}.\text{d}=(7\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-5\hat{\text{k}}).(\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}})$
$=7-4-10$
$=-7\text{ units}$.
