Question: A force F = ( 3 x + 5 y ) , where F is in newtons and x and y are in meters, acts

A force
F =(3x+5y),
where
F
is in newtons and x and y are in meters, acts on an object as the object moves in the x-direction from the origin to
x =4.79 m.
Find the work
W =
F dr
done by the force on the object (in J).
J
(b)
What If? Find the work
W =
F dr
done by the force on the object (in J) if it moves from the origin to (4.79 m,4.79 m) along a straight-line path making an angle of 45.0 with the positive x-axis.
J
Is the work done by this force dependent on the path taken between the initial and final points?
