Answer

$$0$$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $F(x,y, z)=(y-z, z-x, x-y)$ Also, the curve is $r(t)= (\cos t, \sin t, \cos t)$ This implies that $r'(t) = (-\sin t, \cos t, -\sin t)$ Therefore, the integral is: $\oint F \ dr=\int_0^{2 \pi} F[r(t)] r'(t) \ dt\\=\int_0^{2 \pi} (\cos t, \sin t, \cos t) (- \sin t, \cos t, -\sin t)\\=\int_0^{2 \pi} 0 \ dt \\=0 $
