    We have already seen one type of integral along curves. We are now going to see a second, that turns out to have significant connections to conservative vector fields.

We are now going to see a second, that turns out to have significant connections to conservative vector fields. It arose from the concept of “work” in classical mechanics.

In particular, the basic idea is to take a difficult problem and somehow slice it into more manageable pieces that we understand, and then use a definite integral to add up these simpler pieces.

It illustrates the Poincaré Lemma, which connects local potential functions to exact equations, and addresses the use of integrating factors to solve non-exact equations.

Several physical applications of the definite integral are common in engineering and physics. Definite integrals can be used to determine the mass of an object if its density function is known. Work can also be calculated from integrating a force function, or when counteracting the force of gravity, as in a pumping problem. Definite integrals can also be used to calculate the force exerted on an object submerged in a liquid.
