With the aid of the basic fact that E(1/n2) = 7r2/6, prove that Y = a2/6. Hint:
Supposing that 0 < r < 1, let the last series in (6) converge to g(r) and begin
by showing that g(r) < 7r2/6. Then compare g(r) with 1/k2 - e/2

r
f b dx f df(x,Y) dy=f ab dx f d g(x,Y) dy + f b dx f d h(x,Y)dy
is valid provided (i) f(x,y) = g(x,y) + h(x,y) when a 5 x < b and c < y < d
and (ii) the integrals in the right member exist. Hint: Let
F(x) = J
d
f(x,Y) dy, G(x) = f d g(x,y) dy, H(x) = fed h(x,Y) dY
and use known facts about simple integrals.

(1) F(x,y,z) = P(x,y,z)i + Q(x,y,z)j + R(x,y,z)k,
where the functions are continuous over some spherical ball B with center at
(xo,yo,zo), be the force on a particle when the particle is at the point (x,y,z).
Show that the work Wj(x,y,z) done by the force in moving the particle along line
segments from (xo,yo,zo) to (xo,y,zo) and then to (xo,y,z) and finally to the point
