    • A force given by $\vec F = (y,-x+y)$ acts on an object as it moves along the curve $\vec r(t) =(t^2,t)$ for $-1\leq t\leq 2$.
  3. In the integral $\int_C Mdx+Ndy$, state $M$, $N$, $dx$, and $dy$ all in terms of $t$.
  4. Set up an integral to find the length of the curve.
  5. A wire lies along the curve $C$. The density (mass per length) of the wire at a point $(x,y)$ on the curve is given by $\delta(x,y) = y+2$. Set up an integral formula that gives the total mass of the wire.

After each problem, or each part, please pass the chalk.

  1. A force given by $\vec F = (y,-x+y)$ acts on an object as it moves along the curve $\vec r(t) =(t^2,t)$ for $-1\leq t\leq 2$.
    • Draw the curve.
    • At several points on your curve, draw the vector fied.
    • Compute $\ds \int_C\vec F\cdot \frac{d\vec r}{dt}dt$ (the work done by the force along the curve).
  2. Consider the curve $C$ parametrized by $\vec r(t) = (t^2, t^3)$ for $0\leq t\leq 2$.
    • Give a vector equation of the tangent line to the curve at $t=1$.
    • Set up an integral that gives the length of this curve. Just set it up.
    • A wire lies along the curve $C$. The density (mass per length) of the wire at a point $(x,y)$ on the curve is given by $\delta(x,y) = y+2$. Set up an integral formula that gives the total mass of the wire.
    • The wire contains charged particles. The charge density (charge per length) at a point $(x,y)$ on the curve is given by the product $q(x,y)=xy$. Set up an integral formula that gives the total charge on the wire.
  3. Consider the ray from the origin through the point $P=(-2,2)$. What's the angle between this ray and the positive $x$ axis? What the distance from the origin to $P$?
  4. Plot the polar points with $(r,\theta)$ given by $(2,0)$, $(2,\pi/6)$, $(-2,\pi/6)$, $(4,\pi/2)$, $(-4,\pi/2)$.
  5. Give a polar equation of the curve $2x+3y=4$. (So substitute $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$, and then solve for $r$.)
  6. Give a Cartesian equation of the polar curve $r=\tan\theta\sec\theta$. (Use $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$ to work backwards.)
  7. We know $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$. Compute $dx$ in terms of $r, \theta,dr, d\theta$. (If you need to, assume that everything depends on $t$, compute derivatives, then multiply by $dt$.)
  8. Plot the curve $r=3-2\sin\theta$.
