1.	A particle is moving in a potential region defined by U=K(x^2 + y^2 + z^2). Calculate the force acting on the particle.
Answer» Solution :`vecF = -hati (DEL U)/(del X) - HATJ (del U)/(del y) - HATK (del U)/(del z) ` or `vecF = -K [hati xx 2x + hatj xx 2y + hatk xx 2z]` or `vecF = -2K[x hati + y hatj + zhatk]`.
