a. Suppose that \(\mathbf{F}\) is an inverse square force field, that is,

\[\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{r})=\frac{c \mathbf{r}}{|\mathbf{r}|^{3}}\]

for some constant \(c\), where \(\mathbf{r}=x \mathbf{i}+y \mathbf{j}+z \mathbf{k}\). Find the work done by \(\mathbf{F}\) in
moving an object from a point \(P_{1}\) along a path to a point \(P_{2}\) in terms of the distances \(d_{1}\) and \(d_{2}\) from these
points to the origin.

b. An example of an inverse square field is the gravitational field \(\mathbf{F}=-(m M G) \mathbf{r} /|\mathbf{r}|^{3}\) discussed in
Example 4 in Section 13.1. Use part (a) to find the work done by the gravitational field when the earth moves from aphelion (at a
maximum distance of \(1.52 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~km}\) from the sun) to perihelion (at a minimum distance of \(1.47 \times
10^{8} \mathrm{~km}\) ). (Use the values \(m=5.97 \times 10^{24} \mathrm{~kg}, M=1.99 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}\), and \(\
left.G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2} .\right)\)

c. Another example of an inverse square field is the electric force field \(\mathbf{F}=\varepsilon q Q \mathbf{r} /|\mathbf{r}|^{3}\)
discussed in Example 5 in Section 13.1. Suppose that an electron with a charge of \(-1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}\) is located at
the origin. A positive unit charge is positioned a distance \(10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}\) from the electron and moves to a position half
that distance from the electron. Use part (a) to find the work done by the electric force field. (Use the value \(\varepsilon=8.985 \
times 10^{9}\).)
