A variable force acting on a 0.100 -kg particle moving in the $x y$ -plane is given by $F(x, y)=\left(x^{2} \hat{x}+y^{2} \hat{y}\right) \mathrm{N},$ where $x$ and $y$ are in meters. Suppose that due to this force, the particle moves from the origin, $O$, to point $S$, with coordinates $(10.0 \mathrm{~m}, 10.0 \mathrm{~m})$. The coordinates of points $P$ and $Q$ are $(0 \mathrm{~m}, 10.0 \mathrm{~m})$ and $(10.0 \mathrm{~m}, 0 \mathrm{~m})$, respectively. Determine the work performed by the force as the particle moves along each of the following paths: a) OPS c) $O S$ e) $O Q S P O$ b) $O Q S$ d) $O P S Q O$
A particle of mass $m$ is projected from point $A$ with an initial velocity $v_{0}$ perpendicular to $O A$ and moves under a central force $F$ along an elliptic path defined by the equation $r=r_{0} /(2-\cos \theta)$ Using Eq. $(12.35),$ show that $F$ is inversely proportional to the square of the distance $r$ from the particle to the center of force $O .$
