Q2 / 16 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Mathematics in Physics

A force given by F → = f x i ^ + f y j ^ + f z k ^  acts on a particle which moves from a,b,c to d,e,f . The work done by the force F is : (Here A1,A2,A3 are magnitude of area bounded)

    Figure

  • A
    A1+A2+A3
  • Correct answer
    B
    A1-A2-A3
  • C
    -A1+A2-A3
  • D
    A1-A2+A3

Solution

w=∫abfxdx+∫befydy+∫cffzdz

Now  ∫ a d f x dx  is positive since f x > 0  and d > a

∫ b e f y dy  in negative since f y > 0 ;  e < b

∫ c f f z dz  is negative f z < 0 ;  f > c

∴   w=A1-A2-A3

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