Homework Statement
A force is applied to a particle, defined by:
F(x,y)= (y^2, 2xy) << This is a verticle bracket with the y^2 ontop of the 2xy
The path of the particle is straight. The particle moves from (-1,2) to (1,3)
i) Calculate the work that the force F does as the particle moves along the path C by evaluating the appropreate line integral directly
I don't know where to start with this. I know that work: w = fd so to get the distance i must do some integration, but how do you integrate a vector like that?
Can somone please help!? - would be much appreciated
Many thanks
