All we have to do is parametrize the curve take a derivative and then compute dW vec F cdot dvec rtext This gives us a little bit of work along a curve and we sum up the little bits of work integrate to find the total work. You can however recover lost work on your computer in certain cases. Ie Work done F x dl.
