Homework Statement

Find the work done when a constant force F is applied to an object that moves along a vector D where units are pounds and feet

Homework Equations

F= < 64,36 > D = < 22, -33 >

The Attempt at a Solution

I found magnitude by taking square of 64^2 + 36^2. Cant find anything else and don't know where to look!

Work = dot product of force vector and displacement vector.
