Answer

41.7 J

Work Step by Step

Displacement $\vec{d}=\vec{r}_{2}-\vec{r}_{1}$ $=(-4.10-2.70)\hat{i}+(3.30-(-2.90))\hat{j}+(5.40-5.50)\hat{k}$ $=-6.80\hat{i}+6.20\hat{j}-0.10\hat{k}$ $W= \vec{F}\cdot\vec{d}=F_{x}d_{x}+F_{y}d_{y}+F_{z}d_{z}$ $=(2.00\times-6.80)\,Nm+(9.00\times6.20)\,Nm+(5.30\times-0.10)\,Nm$ $=(-13.6+55.8-0.53)\,J=41.7\,J$
