Question 1:

A particle of mass m moves under the force F in xy-plane such that at any
time t its polar coordinates (r,θ) are given by (t, t2). Find the transverse
component of force.

Question 2:

A force of (4î +5ĵ ) N acts on a particle which displaces the particle with the
velocity (2î +7ĵ ). Find the power applied on the particle.

Question 3:
Determine whether the force field F̅ = (x2 y-z)î +2yzĵ +y2k̂ is conservative
or not?

Question 4:

Find the potential energy of a particle of mass 5.2 kg which is at a height of

11m from the horizontal ground.
