Question

Transcribed Image Text:In Cartesian coordinates, a vector field takes the form
F = 2.rzi+ 2yz j+ (r² + y²) k
(b) Calculate the line integral of F along a straight-line path starting at the
origin and ending at the point (a, b, c). This path has the parametric
representation
I = at, y = bt, z = ct (0<t<1).
(c) Given that the point (a, b, c) could be anywhere, use your answer to
part (b) to find the scalar potential function U(r, y, z) corresponding
to F, such that F = -VU.
(d) Hence, or otherwise, calculate the value of the line integral of F along a
path defined by the parametric equations
I = cost, y = sint,
t (0 <t<7).
(Hint: You can use the potential function U calculated in part (c) to
evaluate this line integral.)
