Question
An ant drags a piece of sweet from the origin (0,0) to (3,4) in the co-ordinate axes. What is the work done by the ant if it applies a force of 1 N? (1 unit on the coordinate axis = 1 metre)

Solution
The correct option is C 5 J
Displacement of the sweet from (0,0) to (3,4) is
=√32+42=√9+16=5 m [applying Pythogoras theorem]
Force applied by the ant is 1 N.
Work = Force × displacement
Work done by the ant =5 m×1 N=5 J.
