The correct Answer is:
To find the work done on the body, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Net Force Acting on the Body The body is acted upon by two forces: - \( \vec{F_1} = (2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}) \, \text{N} \) - \( \vec{F_2} = (-2 \hat{k} + 3 \hat{j}) \, \text{N} \) To find the net force \( \vec{F}_{\text{net}} \), we add these two forces together: \[ \vec{F}_{\text{net}} = \vec{F_1} + \vec{F_2} = (2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}) + (-2 \hat{k} + 3 \hat{j}) \] \[ = 2 \hat{i} + (3 + 3) \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k} = 2 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Displacement Vector The displacement vector \( \vec{d} \) is given by the difference between the final position vector \( \vec{r}_B \) and the initial position vector \( \vec{r}_A \). The coordinates of point A are \( (3 \, \text{m}, -2 \, \text{m}, 1 \, \text{m}) \) and point B are \( (-1 \, \text{m}, 2 \, \text{m}, -3 \, \text{m}) \). Thus, the position vectors are: \[ \vec{r}_A = 3 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 1 \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{r}_B = -1 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - 3 \hat{k} \] The displacement vector \( \vec{d} \) is: \[ \vec{d} = \vec{r}_B - \vec{r}_A = (-1 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} - 3 \hat{k}) - (3 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 1 \hat{k}) \] \[ = (-1 - 3) \hat{i} + (2 + 2) \hat{j} + (-3 - 1) \hat{k} = -4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Work Done The work done \( W \) is given by the dot product of the net force and the displacement vector: \[ W = \vec{F}_{\text{net}} \cdot \vec{d} \] Substituting the values: \[ \vec{F}_{\text{net}} = 2 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k} \] \[ \vec{d} = -4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k} \] Calculating the dot product: \[ W = (2 \hat{i} + 6 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}) \cdot (-4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}) \] \[ = (2 \cdot -4) + (6 \cdot 4) + (-2 \cdot -4) \] \[ = -8 + 24 + 8 = 24 \, \text{J} \] ### Final Answer The work done on the body is \( \boxed{24 \, \text{J}} \). ---
