Question:

(a) Suppose that a constant force acts on an object. The force does not vary with time, nor with the position or the velocity of the object. Start with the general definition for work done by a force and show that the force is conservative. (b) As a special case, suppose that the force F = (3i + 4j) N acts on a particle that moves from O to C in Figure P8.21. Calculate the work done by F if the particle moves along each one of the three paths OAC, OBC, and OC. (Your three answers should be identical.)
