Q103 / 150 · MHT CET 2019 (Shift 2) · Physics

A force F=i-5i^-7j^+3k^ acting on a particle causes a displacement s=3i^+2j^+ak in its own direction. If the work done is 14 J, then the value of ‘a’ is

  • A
    0
  • Correct answer
    B
    5
  • C
    15
  • D
    1

Solution

Given, F=-5i^-7j^+3k^,
s=3i-2j^+ak^
And W=F.s …. (i)
Substituting above values in Eq. (i), we get
14=-5i^-7j^+3k^.3i^-2j^+ak^
⇒14=-15+14+3a
⇒a=153=5

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
