(a) Calculate the displacement r :
r = (8.5 i + 13 j + 8.2 k) m - (1.5 i + 1.75 j + 1.2 k) m
r = (7 i + 11.25 j + 7 k) m
The work W done by F in the direction of this displacement is
W = F • r = (2 i + 4 j + 6 k) N • (7 i + 11.25 j + 7 k) m
W = (2×7 + 4×11.25 + 6×7) Nm = 101 J
(b) The average power P of the machine is then
P = W / ∆t = (101 J) / (12 s)
P = 101/12 J/s ≈ 8.42 W
