    If the constant forces\[2\widehat{\mathbf{i}}-5\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+6\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\]and \[-\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\]act on a particle due to which it is displaced from a point\[A(4,\,\,-3,\,\,-2)\]to a point\[B(6,\,\,1,\,\,-3)\]then the work done by the force is

    A) \[25\,\,unit\]                    

    B) \[-15\,\,unit\]

    C) \[9\,\,unit\]                       

    D) \[-9\,\,unit\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Resultant force of the forces\[2\widehat{\mathbf{i}}-5\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+6\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\]\[-\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\]is given by                 \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{F}}}\,=(2\widehat{\mathbf{i}}-5\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+6\widehat{\mathbf{k}})+(-\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+2\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\]                 \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{F}}}\,=\widehat{\mathbf{i}}-3\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+5\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\] and displacement                 \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{d}}}\,=\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{AB}}}\,=(6\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-3\widehat{\mathbf{k}})-(4\widehat{\mathbf{i}}-3\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-2\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\]                 \[=2\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+4\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-\widehat{\mathbf{k}}\] Work done\[W=\overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{F}}}\,\cdot \overset{\to }{\mathop{\mathbf{d}}}\,\]                 \[=(\widehat{\mathbf{i}}-3\widehat{\mathbf{j}}+5\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\cdot (2\widehat{\mathbf{i}}+4\widehat{\mathbf{j}}-\widehat{\mathbf{k}})\]                 \[=2-12-5\]                 \[=-15\,\,unit\]
