Step-by-step solution

  1. Calculate the work done.

    The work done WW by a constant force F⃗\vec{F} causing a displacement s⃗\vec{s} is given by the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

    W=F⃗⋅s⃗W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{s}

    Given F⃗=(5i^+2j^−3k^) N\vec{F} = (5\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k})\, \text{N} and s⃗=(2i^+3j^+4k^) m\vec{s} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k})\, \text{m}.

    W=(5)(2)+(2)(3)+(−3)(4)W = (5)(2) + (2)(3) + (-3)(4) W=10+6−12W = 10 + 6 - 12 W=4 JW = 4\, \text{J}

    The work done by the force is 4 J\boxed{\text{4 J}}.

  2. Calculate the magnitude of the force vector.

    ∣F⃗∣=Fx2+Fy2+Fz2|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2 + F_z^2} ∣F⃗∣=52+22+(−3)2|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{5^2 + 2^2 + (-3)^2} ∣F⃗∣=25+4+9|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{25 + 4 + 9} ∣F⃗∣=38 N|\vec{F}| = \sqrt{38}\, \text{N}
  3. Calculate the magnitude of the displacement vector.

    ∣s⃗∣=sx2+sy2+sz2|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{s_x^2 + s_y^2 + s_z^2} ∣s⃗∣=22+32+42|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2} ∣s⃗∣=4+9+16|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 16} ∣s⃗∣=29 m|\vec{s}| = \sqrt{29}\, \text{m}
  4. Calculate the angle between the force and displacement.

    The angle θ\theta between two vectors can be found using the formula:

    cos⁡θ=F⃗⋅s⃗∣F⃗∣∣s⃗∣\cos\theta = \frac{\vec{F} \cdot \vec{s}}{|\vec{F}| |\vec{s}|}

    We already found F⃗⋅s⃗=4 J\vec{F} \cdot \vec{s} = 4\, \text{J}.

    cos⁡θ=438⋅29\cos\theta = \frac{4}{\sqrt{38} \cdot \sqrt{29}} cos⁡θ=438×29\cos\theta = \frac{4}{\sqrt{38 \times 29}} cos⁡θ=41102\cos\theta = \frac{4}{\sqrt{1102}} cos⁡θ≈433.196\cos\theta \approx \frac{4}{33.196} cos⁡θ≈0.12049\cos\theta \approx 0.12049 θ=arccos⁡(0.12049)\theta = \arccos(0.12049) θ≈83.08∘\theta \approx 83.08^\circ

    The angle between the force and displacement is 83.08∘\boxed{83.08^\circ}.
