3. Evaluate the line integral C x3 ydx xdy, where C is the part of the circle x2 + y 2 = 1
from (1, 0) to (0, 1) followed by the line segment starting at (0, 1) and ending at
(2, 1).

4. Find the work done by F(x, y, z) = 6zi + y 2 j + 12xk over the curve r(t) = (sint)i +
(cost)j + (t/6)k, where 0t2.

5. The force exerted by an electric charge at the origin on a charged particle at a point
(x, y, z) with position vector r = hx, y, zi is F(r) = Kr |r|3 where K is a constant. Find
the work done as the particle moves along a straight line from (2, 0, 0) to (2, 1, 5).
