Question

Let ax and ay be unit vectors along x and y directions, respectively. A vector function is given by F = ax y - ay x The line integral of above function

C F d l Along the curve C, which follows the parabola y = x2 as shown below is ______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places)

Show Answer

Answer :

Ans. – 3

Given that,

F = ax y - ay x

y = x2

By differentiating on both sides,

⇒ dy = 2x dx

F . d l = C ( a x y a y x ) . ( d x a x + d y a y )

= C ( y d x x d y )

In the given graph, the limits of x are: -1 to 2.

F . d l = 1 2 x 2 d x 2 x 2 d x

= 1 2 x 2 d x = 1 3 [ x 3 ] 1 2 = 3
