Dear student,

Angle between displacement and force vectors=90^{\circ}+45^{\circ}+37^{\circ}=172^{\circ}

Hence work done=Fscos\theta=10\times 5\times cos172^{\circ}

cos172^{\circ}=cos(180^{\circ}-8^{\circ})=-cos8^{\circ}=-cos(45^{\circ}-37^{\circ})

=-(cos45^{\circ}cos37^{\circ}+sin45^{\circ}sin37^{\circ})=-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

Hence work done=-25\sqrt{2}J
