  1. Two constant forces \(\mathbf { F } _ { 1 }\) and \(\mathbf { F } _ { 2 }\) are the only forces acting on a particle. \(\mathbf { F } _ { 1 }\) has magnitude 9 N and acts in the direction of \(2 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } + 2 \mathbf { k } . \mathbf { F } _ { 2 }\) has magnitude 18 N and acts in the direction of \(\mathbf { i } + 8 \mathbf { j } - 4 \mathbf { k }\).
Find the total work done by the two forces in moving the particle from the point with position vector \(( \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } + \mathbf { k } ) \mathrm { m }\) to the point with position vector \(( 3 \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } - \mathbf { k } ) \mathrm { m }\).
