10J

Explanation:

We know that work (W) is a scalar quantity and it is the dot product of two vectors -

  • (1)Applied Force (#vecF #)on the object and
  • (2) Displacement(#vecS#)

Here
Force #vecF=3hati+hatj-hatk#
and Displacement #vecS=2hati+6hatj+2hatk#

So work done
#W=vecF*vecV=(3hati+hatj-hatk)*(2hati+6hatj+2hatk)J#
#=(3xx2+1xx6+(-1)xx2)J=(6+6-2)J=10J#
