Homework Statement
First, there is a graph showing x initial at (0,0) and x final at (1,1)
Given: F = xy i +xyj
Find the work done by this force moving the particle from x initial to x final. [note you'll need a relationship between y and x]
Homework Equations
W = Fdcos(theta)
Work is the integral of force
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that the relationship between y and x is simply y = x. So would i just subsitute y for x in the force equation and integrate from 0 to 1? What trips me up is that the force equation is given in component form, and I'm not sure how to integrate with it in that way.
Thank you for any help in advance
