  1. Find the work done by the vector field F⃗(x,y,z)=6x2zı^+3y2ȷ^+xk^\vF(x,y,z) = 6x^2z\vi + 3y^2\vj + x\vk on a particle that moves from the point (3,0,0)(3,0,0) to the point (3,0,6π)(3,0,6\pi) along the helix given by r⃗(t)=⟨3cos⁡(t),3sin⁡(t),t⟩\vr(t) = \langle 3\cos(t),3\sin(t),t\rangle.

  2. Let F⃗(x,y)=⟨0,x⟩\vF(x,y) = \langle 0,x\rangle. Let CC be the closed curve consisting of the top half of the circle of radius 22 centered at the origin and the portion of the xx-axis from (2,0)(2,0) to (−2,0)(-2,0), oriented clockwise. Find the circulation of F⃗\vF around CC.
