Question: Give a formula F = M(x, y)i + N(x, y)j for the vector field in the plane that has the properties that F = 0

Give a formula F = M(x, y)i + N(x, y)j for the vector field in the plane that has the properties that F = 0 at (0, 0) and that at any other point (a, b), F is tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = a2 + b2 and points in the clockwise direction with magnitude |F| = √a2 + b2.
