calc 3 help!!
W=F*d force is given to you as a vector. and distance would be the arc length of <t, t^2, t^3> for 0<t<1
the first step is to rewrite the force vector in terms of t. as that path is the only area we care about. so \[F=<xe^y,xyz>=<te^{t^2},t^6>\]
the arc length, d, of <f(t),g(t),h(t)> for a<t<b is: \[d=\int\sqrt{f^{'}(t)^2+g^{'}(t)^2+h^{'}(t)^2}dt=\int\sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^2+(\frac{dy}{dt})^2+(\frac{dz}{dt})^2}dt\]
\[\frac{dx}{dt}=1; \frac{dy}{dt}= 2t; \frac{dz}{dt}= 3t^2\] \[d=\int \limits_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1+4t^2+9t^4}dt\]
this way will be too complicated. sorry about that. may i show a different approach?
\[W=\int F(r)*dr\] for 0<r<1 \[r=<x,y,z>=<t,t^2,t^3>\] \[dr=<dx,dy,dz>=<1,2t,3t^2>dt\] \[F(r)=<xe^y,xyz>=<te^{t^2},t^6>\] \[F(r)*dr=<te^{t^2},t^6,0>*<1,2t, 3t^2>=te^{t^2}+2t^7\] \[W= \int\limits_{0}^{1}(te^{t^2}+2t^7 )dt\]
\[W=\frac{2e-1}{4}\]
i'm assuming the units is Newtons
