Question

I am struggling with this problem. I need help with a and b. Also, want to see detailed steps. 

Recall work done by a force, F, moving from a point A to B is the line integral,
w =
di
(1)
If F happens to be conservative then work is done is simply,
- (V(B) – V(A))
(2)
W =
where a force is conservative if and only if it is a gradient of a scalar potential (a function),
F = -V
(3)
The minus sign in Eqs.2,3 arises only in physical science because it is necessary to equate the
potential with potential energy. In pure math, Eqs.2,3 would be w = (V(B) – V(A)) and F = VV
respectively. These in combination with Eq. 1, you should recognize as the vectorial form of the
