Question

10. -15 points SerPSE10 7.7.P.033.MI. A force acting on a particle moving in the xy plane is given by F (2 + x"j), where F is in newtons and x and y are in meters. The particle moves from the origin to a final positi having coordinates x4.50 m and y-4.50 m, as shown in the figure below (x, y x(m) (a) Calculate the work done by F on the particle as it moves along the purple path (000) (b) Calculate the work done by F on the particle as it moves along the red path (oBO) e Calkulate the work done by F on the particle as it moves along the blue path (oG (d) Is F conservative or nonconservative? O nonconservative O conservative (e) Explain your answer to part (d)

Explanation / Answer

10. given force acting on particlekmoving in xy plane is

F = 2yi + x^2j

final position = (4.5, 4.5) m

a. path OAC

work done by F = W

dW = F.(dxi + dyj)

dW = 2ydx + x^2dy

integrating

W = 0 + 4.5^2*4.5 = 91.125 J

b. path OBC

dW = 2ydx + x^2*dy

integrating

W = 0 + 2*4.5*4.5 = 40.5 J

c. path OC

dW = 2ydx + x^2*dy

now for this path

y = x

hence

dx = dy

hence

dW = (2x + x^2)dx

integrating

W = (4.5^2 + (4.5^3)/3) = 50.625 J

d. hence we can see, W depends on path and hence F is non conservative
