Q.

A particular of mass ‘m’ moves along the quarter section of the circular path whose centre is at the origin. The radius of the circular path is ‘a’. A force F→=yi^−xj^ newton acts on the particle, where x,y denote the coordinates of position of the particle. Calculate the work done by this force in taking the particle from Point A (a,0) to Point B(0,a) along the circular path.
