Problem

An engineer pulls a cable with a constant force F⃗=2i−3j+6k kN\vec F = 2\mathbf{i} - 3\mathbf{j} + 6\mathbf{k}\,\text{kN}. The end of the cable moves from point P(1,−2,0)P(1,-2,0) m to Q(4,1,2)Q(4,1,2) m and then to R(6,5,5)R(6,5,5) m. (a) Calculate the work done in moving the cable end from PP to QQ. (b) Calculate the additional work done in moving it from QQ to RR. (c) Find the total work done in taking the cable end from PP to RR. a. (a) Work from PP to QQ b. (b) Additional work from QQ to RR c. (c) Total work from PP to RR
