Question: The force field F(x, y) = (x + y)i + (x + 1)j acts on an object moving from the point (0, 0) to the

The force field F(x, y) = (x + y)i + (x² + 1)j acts on an object moving from the point (0, 0) to the point (0, 1), as shown in the figure.

y 1 X

(a) Find the work done when the object moves along the path x = 0, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1.

(b) Find the work done when the object moves along the path x = y - y²,0 ≤ y ≤ 1.

(c) The object moves along the path x = c(y - y²), 0 ≤ y ≤ 1,
c > 0. Find the value of the constant c that minimizes the
work.
