$A$ body,constrained to move in the $Y$-direction,is subjected to a force given by $\vec{F} = (-2\hat{i} + 15\hat{j} + 6\hat{k})\,N$. What is the work done by this force in moving the body a distance $10\,m$ along the $Y$-axis?

In the figure shown,all the surfaces are frictionless,and the mass of the block $m$ is $1\,kg$. The block and wedge are held initially at rest. Now,the wedge is given a horizontal acceleration of $5\,m/s^2$ by applying a force on the wedge,such that the block does not slip on the wedge. Then,the work done by the normal force in the ground frame on the block in $2\,sec$ is ............... $J$.

$A$ body of mass $m$ kg is lifted by a man to a height of one metre in $30\, s$. Another man lifts the same mass to the same height in $60\, s$. The work done by them are in the ratio:

$A$ force $F = (5 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j}) \text{ N}$ acts on a body and produces a displacement $s = (6 \hat{i} - 5 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \text{ m}$. The work done by the force is: (in $\text{ J}$)
