Study Notes
Characteristics of Forces
- Conservative force: Characterized by the work done being dependent only on the initial and final position of the body.
- Conservative force: Exhibits a line integral representing the work done on the particle as it moves from point A to point B.
- Non-conservative force: The work done is dependent on the path followed by the body.
- Non-conservative force: Example of a non-conservative force.
Note:
- Conservative force is path-independent.
- Non-conservative force is path-dependent.
