Navigate to where the files exist;e.g
Code: 
 cd /home/mrizz18540/documents/
(hint: use tab auto-completion when navigating into deep layered directories for a more simpler life)or for short, providing the folder begins in your home path
Code: 
cd ~/documents
then to extract into the current directory execute
Code: 
unrar x rwrk28201-52000.part01.rar
to extract into a different location simply add it after the specified archivee.g
Code: 
unrar x rwrk28201-52000.part01.rar /home/mrizz18540/videos/
If password protected it may ask you to enter the password many times for each archive so in this situation the -p switch comes in handy.the password in this example is A-O (case sensitive)
Code: 
unrar x -pA-O rwrk28201-52000.part01.rar /home/mrizz18540/videos/
