    If the constant forces\[2\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+6\hat{k}\]and \[-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k}\]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 forces is

    A)  10 unit

    B)  \[-10\]unit

    C)  9 unit

    D)  \[-9\]unit

    E)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Resultant force is \[\overrightarrow{F}=(2\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+6\hat{k})+(-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k})\] \[=\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+5\hat{k}\] and displacement, \[\overrightarrow{d}=\overrightarrow{AB}\] \[=(6\hat{i}+\hat{j}-3\hat{k})-(4\hat{i}-3\hat{j}-2\hat{k})\] \[=2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-\hat{k}\] \[\therefore \] Work done\[=W=\overrightarrow{F}.\overrightarrow{d}\] \[=(\hat{i}-3\hat{j}+5\hat{k}).(2\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-\hat{k})\] \[=2-12-5=-15\] \[=15\text{ }unit.\]         \[(neglecting\text{ }-\text{ }ve\text{ }sign)\]
