Q.

A particle moves from a point (-2i^+5j^) to (4j^+3k^) when a force of (4i^+3j^) N is applied. How much work has been done by the force      [2016]
 

1 8 J  
2 11 J  
3 5 J  
4 2 J  

Ans.

(3)

Here r1=(-2i^+5j^)m, r2=(4j^+3k^)m

F=(4i^+3j^)N,  W=?

Work done by force F in moving from r1 to r2,

W=F·(r2-r1)W=(4i^+3j^)·(4j^+3k^+2i^-5j^)

                 =(4i^+3j^)·(2i^-j^+3k^)=8+(-3)=5J
