If a force \((3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}) \mathrm{N}\) acting on a body displaces it through \((2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+1 \hat{k}) \mathrm{m}\), then the work done by the force on the body is

  1. A 40 J
  2. B 20 J
  3. C 15 J
  4. D 25 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 15 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{d}\) \(W = (3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}) \cdot (2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+1 \hat{k})\) \(W = (3)(2) + (2)(2) + (5)(1)\) \(W = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15 \mathrm{J}\)
