A particle moves along line segments from the origin to the points (2, 0, 0), (2, 3, 1), (0, 3, 1), and back to the origin under the influence of the force field F(x, y, z).

Required:
Find the work done.

Respuesta :

Answer:

the net work is zero

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

        W = F. ds

Bold type indicates vectors

In this problem, the friction force does not decrease, therefore it will be zero.

Consequently for work on a closed path it is zero.

The work in going from the initial point (0, 0, 0) to the end of each segment is positive and when it returns from the point of origin the angle is 180º, therefore the work is negative, consequently the net work is zero
