Question: Consider a force field F(x, y) = 3yi - xyj acting over the curve C given in the figure below. (-4,1) L (0,5) A

Consider a force field F(x, y) = 3yi - xyj acting over

Consider a force field F(x, y) = 3yi - xyj acting over the curve C given in the figure below. (-4,1) L (0,5) A (3,2) a) Show that the force field F is not conservative. b) Compute the work done by the force F acting along the curve C traced in the figure. That is, Compute f 3y dx - xy dy. (Notice the orientation as well)
