Let CC be the arc of the parabola y=1−x2y = 1 - x^2 above the xx-axis, from (−1,0)(-1, 0) to (1,0)(1, 0), and let n\mathbf n be its unit normal pointing to the upper (convex) side, away from the origin. Find the flux ∫CF⋅n ds\displaystyle\int_C\mathbf F\cdot\mathbf n\,ds of F=(x,  y)\mathbf F = (x,\; y) across CC.
