The question is suppose that F is an inverse square force field, that is,
F(r)=cr/|r^3|
where c is some constant. r = xi + yj + zk. Find the work done by F in moving an object from a point P1 along a path to a point P2 in terms of the distances d1 and d2 from those points to the origin.
I'm not exactly sure how to do this or even where to start?
Usually F denotes a vector field, but in case it doesn't...?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
