Me too there's no math problem...

Things you could try to fix this:

Try asking your teacher what is the work?

Try searching or contacting main educator on your work files.

Figure out what your teacher told you

Try calling the school or teacher.

Etc.

Find the work done by F= (x^2+y)i + (y^2+x)j +(ze^z)k over the following path from (4,0,0) to (4,0,4)

babunello [35]

$\vec F(x,y,z)=(x^2+y)\,\vec\imath+(y^2+x)\,\vec\jmath+ze^z\,\vec k$

We want to find $f(x,y,z)$ such that $\nabla f=\vec F$ . This means

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=x^2+y$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=y^2+x$

$\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial z}=ze^z$

Integrating both sides of the latter equation with respect to $z$ tells us

$f(x,y,z)=e^z(z-1)+g(x,y)$

and differentiating with respect to $x$ gives

$x^2+y=\dfrac{\partial g}{\partial x}$

Integrating both sides with respect to $x$ gives

$g(x,y)=\dfrac{x^3}3+xy+h(y)$

Then

$f(x,y,z)=e^z(z-1)+\dfrac{x^3}3+xy+h(y)$

and differentiating both sides with respect to $y$ gives

$y^2+x=x+\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dy}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dh}{\mathrm dy}=y^2\implies h(y)=\dfrac{y^3}3+C$

So the scalar potential function is

$\boxed{f(x,y,z)=e^z(z-1)+\dfrac{x^3}3+xy+\dfrac{y^3}3+C}$

By the fundamental theorem of calculus, the work done by $\vec F$ along any path depends only on the endpoints of that path. In particular, the work done over the line segment (call it $L$ ) in part (a) is

$\displaystyle\int_L\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=f(4,0,4)-f(4,0,0)=\boxed{1+3e^4}$

and $\vec F$ does the same amount of work over both of the other paths.

In part (b), I don't know what is meant by "df/dt for F"...

In part (c), you're asked to find the work over the 2 parts (call them $L_1$ and $L_2$ ) of the given path. Using the fundamental theorem makes this trivial:
