You could try a straight line from (0,0) to (3,4), projecting the force onto it through the scalar product and then taking the integral over some affine parameter which parametrises the straight line. | |

| Oct 19, 2020 at 7:44 | comment | added | aco | @JulianDeV Yeah, I assumed "right" to be in the direction of $\hat{i}$ but I've got no luck continuing it because the problem doesn't tell me the path the particle took. The previous problems given to me has it but this one doesn't. | |

| Oct 19, 2020 at 7:40 | comment | added | aco | @Buraian The problem only says the force is directed to the right, so I assumed it was in the $\hat{i}$ direction. There was no path given, so I assumed that it's conservative, but I just found out that there's no way for that force to be conservative? | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 7:40 | comment | added | Guliano | Do you know the direction of $\vec{F}$? I think you should try the integral formula for work. | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 7:33 | comment | added | Brian | There is no basis vector attached to force? Or is $ F = xy \vec{i}$...? | |
