Question:

Consider a force \(\vec{F}=-x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}\). The work done by this force in moving a particle from point A(1, 0) to B(0, 1) along the line segment is : (all quantities are in SI units)

Show Hint

Integrate \(\vec F\cdot d\vec r=-x\,dx+y\,dy\) from A(1, 0) to B(0, 1).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

\(W=\int\vec F\cdot d\vec r=\int(-x\,dx+y\,dy)\).
The x-part: \(-\int_{1}^{0}x\,dx=-\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_1^0=\frac{1}{2}\).
The y-part: \(\int_0^1y\,dy=\frac{1}{2}\).
\(W=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1\) J.
