Example: Computing the Line Integral of a Vector Field (i.e. Work Done)

This video gives a concrete example of computing the work done by a force field on a particle moving along a specific curve, aka the Line Integral of a Vector Field. In the previous videos in the vector calculus playlist (see below) we derived the general formula for computing this. In this example we will see how to parametrize the given path (a circle in this case), sketch the vector field, and compute the line integral of a vector field.
