Integrate F(r)=[xy,yz,z] along the helix r(t)=[cos t, sin t, 3t]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

integrate ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes , line integral

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ahh looks straightforward, where are u stuck exactly

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\int_C \overrightarrow{F} \bullet d\overrightarrow{r} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

parameterize and take the dot product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats it ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the good thing is, parameterization is already done for you

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, thats it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

r(t)=[cos t, sin t, 3t] x y z

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x = cos t => dx = ? y = sin t => dy = ? z = 3t => dz = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lol ty ! i have exam after an hour with this SH***

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

remember this : F is the force field given, and you're walking alogn the helix

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the Force is defined everywhere and it is changing
