A body constrained to move along the z-axis of a coordinate system is subject to a constant force F given by F = -hati+2hatj+3hatkN Where hati,hatj,hatj are unit vectors along the x-, y- and z-axis of the system respectively. What is the work done by this force in moving the body a distance of 4 m along the z-axis ?
