Question: A force acting on a particle moving in the xy plane is given by F = (2yi + x2j), where x and y are in

A force acting on a particle moving in the xy plane is given by F = (2yi + x2j), where x and y are in meters. The particle moves from the origin to a final position having coordinates x = 5.00 m and y = 5.00 m, as in Figure P8.21. Calculate the work done by F along (a) OAC, (b) OBC, (c) OC. (d) Is F conservative or nonconservative? Explain.
