JEE MAIN - Physics (2004 - No. 43)

A force $$\overrightarrow F = \left( {5\overrightarrow i + 3\overrightarrow j + 2\overrightarrow k } \right)N$$ is applied over a particle which displaces it from its origin to the point $$\overrightarrow r = \left( {2\overrightarrow i - \overrightarrow j } \right)m.$$ The work done on the particle in joules is
$$+10$$
$$+7$$
$$-7$$
$$+13$$

Explanation

The work done by a force on a particle is given by the dot product of the force and the displacement vector of the particle: $$W = \overrightarrow F \cdot \overrightarrow r$$

We can substitute the given vectors into this expression:

$$W = \overrightarrow F .\overrightarrow r $$

$$= \left( {5\widehat i + 3\widehat j + 2\widehat k} \right).\left( {2\widehat i - \widehat j} \right)$$

$$=10-3=7$$ J
