42 J\text{42 J}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given force vector.

    The force vector is given as:

    F⃗=(7i^+4j^−3k^) N\vec{F} = (7\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 3\hat{k})\, \text{N}
  2. Interpret the student's calculation for work done.

    The student's work shows the calculation for work done as 35+4+3=4235 + 4 + 3 = 42.
    The formula for work done by a constant force F⃗\vec{F} causing a displacement d⃗\vec{d} is W=F⃗⋅d⃗W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{d}.
    If we assume the displacement vector d⃗\vec{d} is such that its components, when multiplied by the corresponding components of F⃗\vec{F}, yield these values, we can deduce d⃗\vec{d}.
    Let d⃗=(dxi^+dyj^+dzk^)\vec{d} = (d_x \hat{i} + d_y \hat{j} + d_z \hat{k}).
    Then F⃗⋅d⃗=(7)(dx)+(4)(dy)+(−3)(dz)\vec{F} \cdot \vec{d} = (7)(d_x) + (4)(d_y) + (-3)(d_z).
    Comparing this with the student's calculation:
    7dx=35  ⟹  dx=57d_x = 35 \implies d_x = 5
    4dy=4  ⟹  dy=14d_y = 4 \implies d_y = 1
    −3dz=3  ⟹  dz=−1-3d_z = 3 \implies d_z = -1
    So, the implied displacement vector is d⃗=(5i^+1j^−1k^) m\vec{d} = (5\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} - 1\hat{k})\, \text{m}.

  3. Calculate the work done.

    Using the force vector F⃗=(7i^+4j^−3k^) N\vec{F} = (7\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 3\hat{k})\, \text{N} and the implied displacement vector d⃗=(5i^+1j^−1k^) m\vec{d} = (5\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} - 1\hat{k})\, \text{m}:

    W=F⃗⋅d⃗W = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{d} W=(7i^+4j^−3k^)⋅(5i^+1j^−1k^)W = (7\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}) \cdot (5\hat{i} + 1\hat{j} - 1\hat{k}) W=(7)(5)+(4)(1)+(−3)(−1)W = (7)(5) + (4)(1) + (-3)(-1) W=35+4+3W = 35 + 4 + 3 W=42 JW = 42\, \text{J}

    The work done is consistent with the student's calculation.

    The final answer is 42 J\text{42 J}.
