Find the work done by the force F from (0,0,0) to (1,1,1) over the following path:
The path of the line segment from (0,0,0) to (1,1,0) followed by the line segment from (1,1,0) to (1,1,1) where the Force F=(1/(x^2+1))j
How do I set up this integral??
Please help me out if you know how!
Hello s7bThe first line segment is in the planeOriginally Posted by s7b
; the force is in the direction of the
-axis, and it moves along the line
in the plane from
to
. So as the point of application of the force moves from
to
work done =
.
To find the work done, then, you'll need to evaluate, where
The second part of the movement is parallel to the-axis, and is therefore at right angles to the force. So it does a zero amount of work.
