Vector Calculus · Challenge problem

For a point (a,0)(a, 0) let Va=(−y(x−a)2+y2,  x−a(x−a)2+y2)\mathbf V_a = \left(\dfrac{-y}{(x - a)^2 + y^2},\; \dfrac{x - a}{(x - a)^2 + y^2}\right), and let F=V0+2 V3+(0,  x)\mathbf F = \mathbf V_0 + 2\,\mathbf V_3 + (0,\; x). Evaluate ∮CF⋅dr\displaystyle\oint_C\mathbf F\cdot d\mathbf r, where CC is the ellipse x225+y24=1\dfrac{x^2}{25} + \dfrac{y^2}{4} = 1 traversed once counterclockwise. Give your answer in terms of π\pi.
