Problem 3

Suppose a car is traveling from point P to point R along the path PQR, and it's experiencing a force F = (12i + 6j) N. Determine the work done by the force on the car following path PQR based on the figure shown below. Can we classify this force as conservative or non-conservative?Graph showing path PQR with points P, Q, R and axes labeled x(m) and y(m).
