Question:

A force in the xy plane is given by F = (F0/r)(yi - xj), where F0 is a constant and r = √x2 + y2

(a) Show that the magnitude of this force is F0 and that its direction is perpendicular to r = xi + yj. 

(b) Find the work done by this force on a particle that moves in a circle of radius 5 m centered at the origin. Is this force conservative?
