Assignment 2
MATH2021 Vector Calculus and Differential Equations Semester 1, 2020
Lecturer: Zhou Zhang

• Due on Sunday, 24 May 2020 at 11:50PM, Sydney Time, which is the deadline.
• Format: hand-written on physical paper and scanned for submission. It’s fine to take pictures
for pages of solution paper separately and compile them into one file for submission.
• We DON’T accept writing on iPad or tablet, or submission in any other form.

• Submit your assignment through turnitin on Canvas. Double check the status of paper after
submission.
• DON’T include NAME in the title of the submission line for anonymous marking.
• MUST include SID on paper.

1. We have the unit ball B = {(x, y, z) | x2 +y 2 +z 2 ≤ 1} in R3 with the unit sphere S = {(x, y, z) | x2 +
y 2 +z 2 = 1} as its boundary. S is the union of hemispheres S1 = {(x, y, z) | x2 +y 2 +z 2 = 1, z ≥ 0}
and S2 = {(x, y, z) | x2 + y 2 + z 2 = 1, z ≤ 0}. Consider the vector field V = (x, y, z 2 ).
1) S is a level surface. Explain that n = (x, y, z) is its unit outward normal vector field.
RR
2) Write down the surface integral S1 V · n dS as a double integral by considering S1 as a graph
over xy-plane. You are NOT asked to calculate this double integral.
RR
3) Apply Gauss’ Theorem to calculate S V · n dS.
Hint: cylindrical coordinates and/or symmetry might be helpful.

2. In the xy-plane R2 , we have the unit disk centred at origin, D = {(x, y) | x2 + y 2 ≤ 1}, and its
boundary circle C in the counter-clockwise direction. In the xyz-space R3 where the xy-plane is
the plane {z = 0}, we have the unit upper hemisphere S1 = {(x, y, z) | x2 + y 2 + z 2 ≤ 1, z ≥ 0}
with the same boundary C.
Consider the vector field F (x, y, z) = (y, −x, xy sin z) over R3 .
H
1) Apply Green’s Formula/Theorem to calculate C F · dr.
2) Calculate (∇ × F ) · n over S1 , where n is the unit normal of S1 , pointing out of the unit ball
centred at origin. The answer should be a function with only variables x and y.
RR
3) Apply Stokes’ Theorem to calculate S1 (∇ × F ) · n dS.

3. Find the particular solution for the following ODEs with unknown function y(x).
1) y 0 + y = 0, y(0) = 1.
2) y 0 + y = x, y 0 (0) = 0.
3) y 00 + 2y 0 + 2y = 0, y(0) = y 0 (π) = 0.
