So finding the rope is kind of like finding the perimeter. Add 61+61+21+21 and you will get 164 feet.
The answer should be $0.955
I'll assume you're supposed to compute the line integral of
over the given path
. By the fundamental theorem of calculus,

so evaluating the integral is as simple as evaluting
at the endpoints of
. But first we need to determine
given its gradient.
We have

Differentiating with respect to
gives

and we end up with

for some constant
. Then the value of the line integral is
.
(7^2)x = 1
49x = 1
x = 1/49
Part B
7^0 = 1
so we have
1x = 1
x = 1
