Question
Force F(x, y, z) = zyi + xj + z^2xk acts on a particle
that travels from the origin to point (1, 2, 3). Calculate the
work done if the particle travels:
a. along the path
(0, 0, 0) → (1, 0, 0) → (1, 2, 0) → (1, 2, 3)
along straight-line segments joining each pair of
endpoints;
b. along the straight line joining the initial and final
points. (0,0,0) --> (1,2,3)
c. Is the work the same along the two paths?
