Homework Statement
Find the work done by the force field F on particle moving along path
F(x,y) = -xi + 6yj, <I>C</I>: y = x^3 from (0,0) to (6,216)
The Attempt at a Solution
Drew the graph in the xy plane (y = x^3 is upper limit, x = 0 is lower limit)
W = F ° r'(t) dt
Vector field is not conservative
I want to find r'(t) but am confused as to how, just not sure where to go from here. I have a habit of over thinking problems and am probably doing so. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
