If both forces are measured in Newtons, then the net force is

F = (18, 7, -12) N + (16, -10, 16) N = (34, -3, 4) N

The toolbox undergoes a displacement (i.e. change in position) in the direction of the vector

d = (17, 14, -1) m - (15, 14, -8) m = (2, 0, -9) m

The total work done by the astronauts on the toolbox is then

F • d = (34, -3, 4) N • (2, 0, -9) m = (68 + 0 - 36) N•m = 32 J

The work done by the two astronauts is equal to 96 J.

work done?Work done is defined as the product of force applied and the distance moved by the force.

The forces applied = 18+16 N, 7+ -10 N, and -12 + 16N

Forces = 34 N, -3 N, and 4N

Distances = (17 - 15, 14 - 14, -1 - - 8) m

Distances = 2, 0, 7

Work done = 34 × 2 + -3 × 0 + 4 × 7

Work done = 96 J

Therefore, the work done by the two astronauts is equal to 96 J.
