Since F is the gradient of scalar field g(x,y,z) = y2z3sin x - x4z (so in particular F is conservative with a potential g) the work done by F along the path described is g(0,2,0) - g(π,1,3) = 0 - 3π4 = -3π4.

asked 06/22/23The answer is -3π4 or 3π4 ? Help me check the answer. thank you
Show that the force field F(x,y,z)=(y2z3cosx-4x3z)i+(2z3ysinx)j+(3y2z2sinx-x4)k is conservative and find its potential function. Hence find the work done by F(x,y,z) in moving an object from (π,1,3) to (3,4,1) and then to (0,2,0).
