A particle moves under the constant force F=(2,−1,3)\mathbf F = (2, -1, 3). It first travels along the helix r(t)=(cos⁡t,sin⁡t,tπ)\mathbf r(t) = \left(\cos t, \sin t, \dfrac{t}{\pi}\right) from t=0t = 0 to t=3πt = 3\pi, and then in a straight line to the point (4,0,1)(4, 0, 1). Find the total work done by F\mathbf F.
