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?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
