Question

how to calculate work done by force field along a curve

Answer 1

I am creating a study guide for my final exam. I just need to know how to accomplish this in general. Steps involved, etc. :)

Answer 2

\[\int\limits_{}^{}F.ds\] is the best way to find your answer, depending on the question u can integrate and find the work

Answer 3

ok, I'm familiar with that integral, thanks. :)

Answer 4

yea so thats great, so u just need to plug in, like if incase u have a force constant u can bring it out of the integral and stuff.. this is the most general equation as u asked for a curve which general itself :D

Answer 5

ok, i got confused by force field. I'm used to seeing vector field. lol
