A body of mass 'm' is released from the top of a fixed rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. If the frictional force has magnitude F, then the body will reach the bottom with a velocity:

A body constrained to move along the \(\mathrm{z}\)-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 \(\mathrm{x}\)-axis, \(\mathrm{y}\)-axis and \(\mathrm{z}\)-axis of the system respectively. The work done by this force in moving the body a distance of \(4\) m along the \(\mathrm{z}\)-axis will be:
1. \(15\) J
2. \(14\) J
3. \(13\) J
4. \(12\) J
