part a) and b) please

(Conservative forces) Conservative forces have a very special property that
we will explore in this problem. Consider a function U: R² → R which we will call the
potential. The conservative force F associated to the potential U is given by
(a) Consider the following potential
F= -vu.
1
U(x, y)
=
x² + y²+1
Compute the force F associated to U and sketch the vector field associated to F. (You
should produce something like Figure 2.18 from the lecture notes.)
(b) Consider two curves C₁ and C₂ with injective parametrizations Y₁: (0,2л) → R² and
Y2 (0,2π) R² given by
3
Y₁(t) = (0,
Y2(t) =
sin(t),
2π
2/7).
Sketch the curves C₁ and C2.
(c) Compute the curve integrals fc, F. ds and fc, F.ds. Do you notice anything?
(d) If you've done things correctly, you should have found Sc, F. ds = Sc₂ F. ds: the
answer is independent of the shape of the curve! In fact, you may have noticed that
F. ds = F ds (u(0, 1) — U(0,0)) .
