- A bead is threaded on a straight wire. The vector equation of the wire is
$$\mathbf { r } = \mathbf { i } - 3 \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } + t ( 2 \mathbf { i } - \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } )$$
where the unit of length is the metre. The bead is moved from a point \(A\) on the wire through a distance of 6 m along the wire to a point \(B\) by a force \(\mathbf { F } = ( 7 \mathbf { i } + 4 \mathbf { j } - 2 \mathbf { k } ) \mathrm { N }\).
Find the magnitude of the work done by \(\mathbf { F }\) in moving the bead from \(A\) to \(B\).
