Section 7.1 - Path Integrals Problem 1. Evaluate the path integral of f (x, y) = 2x along the path c(t) = (t, t 2 ) from
t = 0 to t = 1. Solution. First we compute c 0 (t) = (1, 2t), and so kc 0 (t)k = p (1)

Problem 2. Compute the mass of the wire described by the curve c(t) = (sin(t), cos(t), t) where 0 ≤ t ≤ π if the mass density at the point (x, y, z) of the wire is f (x, y, z) = 1 + x 2 +

Problem 3. Evaluate the path integral of the function f (x, y, z) = e √ z along the path c(t) = (1, 2, t 2 ), where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Solution. First, we compute c 0 (t) = (0, 0, 2t), and so kc 0 (t)k = p 0 2 + 0 2 + (2t) 2 = 2t.
So the path integral is then Z c f ds = 1 Z 0 f (1, 2, t 2 ) · kc
