(a) Find the constants a, b, and c so that F=(x+2y+az) i + (bx – 3y – z ) j + (4x + cy + 2 z) k is irrotational and hence find the function ψ such that F = ∇ ψ (b) The forces F 1 ,F 2 ,F 3 ,F 4 ,F 5 and F 6 act along the sides of a regular hexagone taken (10) in order. Verify that all the forces will be in equilibrium if, ∑ F= 0, and F 1 – F 4 = F 3 –F 6 =F 5 –F 2 .
