Answer

The net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first $4.00~m$ of displacement is $~~8.52~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the horizontal component of $F_1$: $F_{1,x} = -3.00~N$ We can find the horizontal component of $F_2$: $F_{2,x} = -(4.00~N)~sin~50.0^{\circ} = -3.06~N$ We can find the horizontal component of $F_3$: $F_{3,x} = (10.0~N)~cos~35.0^{\circ} = 8.19~N$ We can find the net horizontal force: $F = 8.19~N-3.00~N-3.06~N = 2.13~N$ We can find the net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first $4.00~m$ of displacement: $W = F~d$ $W = (2.13~N)(4.00~m)$ $W = 8.52~J$ The net work done on the canister by the three forces during the first $4.00~m$ of displacement is $~~8.52~J$
