Question
A force F = (3xî + 4yĵ), where F is in newtons and x and y are in meters, acts on an object as the object moves in the x-direction from the origin to x = 4.81 m. Find the work W =  F · dr done by the force on the object (in J).
 J
(b)
What If? Find the work 
W = F · dr
 done by the force on the object (in J) if it moves from the origin to (4.81 m, 4.81 m) along a straight-line path making an angle of 45.0° with the positive x-axis.
 J
Is the work done by this force dependent on the path taken between the initial and final points?
