Calculate Work

jeudi 27 février 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known



A constant Force= <2,4,1> (in Newtons) moves an object in space from (0,0,0) to (2,4,5) ( distance is measured in meters) Calculate the Work done.























2. Relevant equations



W= || proj of F onto pq|| ||PQ||



W= F• vector PQ

















3. The attempt at a solution

Well I'm guessing for starters I'd have to make a vector component from (0,0,0) to (2,4,5)

So I know PQ would be =< 2,4,5>



I am stuck on what my next step would be. W= F•d when the force is acting in line of motion with the object. But that is not the case.
