Consider the force field and circle defined below. F(x, y) = x2 i + xy j x2 + y2 = 121 (a) Find the work done by the force field on a particle that moves once around the circle oriented in the clockwise direction.

Respuesta :

Answer: the work done by the force is 0

Explanation:

F (x², xy)

121 = 11²

so R = x² + y² = 11²

p = x². Q = xy

Δp/Δy = 0, ΔQ/Δx

using Green's theorem

woek = c_∫F.Δr = R_∫∫ ΔQ/Δx - Δp/Δy) ΔA

=  (x² + y² = 121)_∫∫ yΔA

now let x = rcosФ, y = rsinФ

ΔA = rΔrΔФ

so r from 0 to 11

and Ф from 0 to 2π

= 0_∫^2π   0_∫^11  rsinФ × rΔrΔФ

= 0_∫^2π SinФΔФ   0_∫^11  r²Δr

= [ -cosФ]^2π_0 [r³/3]₀¹¹ = ( -cos2π + cos0) (11³/3) = 0

therefore the work done by the force is 0
