    Forces of magnitudes 3 and 4 unit acting along\[6\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\]and\[3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+6\hat{k}\]respectively act on a particle and displace it from (2, 2, -1) to (4, 3, 1). The work done is

    A)  124/7                                   

    B)  120/7

    C)  125/7                   

    D)         121/7

    E)  123/7

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let\[\overrightarrow{{{F}_{1}}}=6\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\] and \[\overrightarrow{{{F}_{2}}}=3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+6\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \]\[\overrightarrow{{{F}_{1}}}=3\left( \frac{6\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}}{7} \right)=\frac{18\hat{i}+6\hat{j}+9\hat{k}}{7}\] and \[\overrightarrow{{{F}_{2}}}=4\left( \frac{3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+6\hat{k}}{7} \right)=\frac{12\hat{i}-8\hat{j}+24\hat{k}}{7}\] \[\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{{{F}_{1}}}+\overrightarrow{{{F}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{7}[18\hat{i}+6\hat{j}+9\hat{k}+12\hat{i}\]                                                 \[-8\hat{j}+24\hat{k}]\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}[30\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+33\hat{k}]\] Let   \[\overrightarrow{OA}=2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k}\] and  \[\overrightarrow{OB}=4\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\overrightarrow{d}=\overrightarrow{OB}-\overrightarrow{OA}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \]Work done \[=\overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{d}=\frac{1}{7}(30\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+33\hat{k}).(2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+2\hat{k})\]                 \[=\frac{60-2+66}{7}=\frac{124}{7}\]
