Answer

$m(6ti+2j+6tk)$ or, $6tmi+2mj+6mtk$

Work Step by Step

Given: $r(t)=t^3i+t^2j+t^3k$ In order to calculate the force of a particle, whose mass is $m$ we will take the help of Newton's Second law of motion: Force vector: $F(t)=ma(t)$ Now, $v(t)=r'(t)=3t^2i+2tj+3t^2k$ and $a(t)=v'(t)=6ti+2j+6tk$ Thus, Force vector: $F(t)=ma(t)=m(6ti+2j+6tk)$ Hence, the required answer is : $m(6ti+2j+6tk)$ or, $6tmi+2mj+6mtk$
