Answer

$$- \pi $$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have: $ \dfrac{dr}{dt}=\cos t i -\sin t j+k$ The work done can be computed as follows: $W=\int_a^b F[r(t)] \dfrac{dr}{dt}(dt) $ or, $=\int_0^{2 \pi } ( t i +\sin t j+\cos t k) \cdot (\cos t -\sin t +k) dt $ or, $=\int_0^{2 \pi} (t+1) \cos t \ dt -\int_0^{2 \pi} \sin^2 t dt $ or, $= [\int (t+1) \cos t \ dt ]_0^{2 \pi} -\int_0^{2 \pi} \sin^2 t dt $ or, $=[(t+1) \sin t -\int \sin t dt ]_0^{2 \pi} - \int_0^{2 \pi} \dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{\cos 2t}{2} dt $ or, $=[ (t+1) \sin t +\cos t ]_0^{2 \pi} - \pi $ or, $= 0-\pi $ or, $=- \pi $
