A body constrained to move along the \({z}\)-axis of a coordinate system is subjected to constant force given by \(\vec{F}=-\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\) where \(\hat{i},\hat{j} \) and \(\hat{k}\) are unit vectors along the \({x}\)-axis, \({y}\)-axis and \({z}\)-axis of the system respectively. The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of \(4~\text m\) along the \({z}\)-axis will be:
1. \(15~\text J\)
2. \(14~\text J\)
3. \(13~\text J\)
4. \(12~\text J\)
A block of mass \(m\) is being lowered by means of a string attached to it. The system moves down with a constant velocity. Then:
1. | the work done by gravity on the block is positive. |
2. | the work done by force, \(F \) (the force of the string) on the block is negative. |
3. | the work done by gravity is equal in magnitude to that done by the string. |
4. | All of the above are true. |
