A cutting tool under microprocessor control has several forces acting on it. One force is F=xy2j^, a force in the negative y-direction whose magnitude depends on the position of the tool. The constant is = 2.85 N/m3. Consider the displacement of the tool from the origin to the point x=2.65 m , y=2.65 m .

a. Calculate the work done on the tool by F if this displacement is along the straight line y=x that connects these two points. Express answer in joules.

b. Calculate the work done on the tool by F if the tool is first moved out along the x-axis to the point x= 2.65 m , y=0 and then moved parallel to the y-axis to x=2.65 m , y=2.65 m. Express answer in joules.
