Question

Calculate the work done on the particle.

**Problem Statement:**

A particle moving in the xy-plane is subject to a force 

\[
\vec{F}(x, y) = (60 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2) \frac{(x\hat{i} + y\hat{j})}{(x^2 + y^2)^{3/2}}
\]

where \( x \) and \( y \) are in meters. 

Calculate the work (in Joules) done on the particle by this force as it moves in a straight line from the point \((7 \, \text{m}, 6 \, \text{m})\) to the point \((5 \, \text{m}, 8 \, \text{m})\).

\[ \boxed{\phantom{\text{answer}}} \, \text{J} \]

**Instructions:**

- Enter a number in the box provided for the work in Joules.
