STANDARD Physics Work Done by a Constant Force MCQ Question
A body constrained to move along y-axis is subjected to a constant force F = -î + 2ĵ + 3k̂ N. The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of 4 m along y-axis is
4 J
8 J
12 J
24 J
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Here, F = -î + 2ĵ + 3k̂ N. As the body moves a distance of 4 m along y-axis, d = 4ĵ m. Work done by the given force is W = F·d = (-î + 2ĵ + 3k̂ N)·(4ĵ m) = 8 J.
