Some problems involving computation of divergence and curl are omitted, because those types of
problems are purely computational and you should have enough practice trying the problems in the back
of the section 14.1

1. Evaluate x3 + yds where C is the curve given by x(t) = 2t and y(t) = t2 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

2. Find the work done by moving a particle along the curve C, given that the force F~ = hx3 − y 3 , xy 2 i
and the curve is ~r(t) = ht2 , t3 i, with −1 ≤ t ≤ 1.

a potential function f for F~ .

4. Evaluate the line integral 2xydx + x2 dy where C is the petal from the rose r = sin 2θ in the first
C
quadrant traveled counterclockwise.

5. Let R = {(x, y) : 1 ≤ x2 + y 2 ≤ 9} and let C be the boundaries of R oriented so that the region is

6. Let C be the curve oriented clockwise consisting of the semicircle of radius 3 with center at the
origin above the x-axis, the semicircle of radius 2 with center at the origin below the x-axis and the line
segments from (3, 0) to (2, 0) and from (−2, 0) to (−3, 0). Find
