VectorCalculus Test 2023 10 06

The document contains a 4 question exam on vector calculus. Question 1 asks to compute the mass of a wire curve given by the intersection of a cylinder and plane. Question 2 asks to sketch and compute the area of a surface given by the intersection of a paraboloid and cylinder. Question 3 involves determining values of variables for which a line integral can be evaluated without knowing the curve, and then evaluating the integral. Question 4 asks about the volume inside a sphere and outside a cylinder, and computing fluxes of a vector field out of this region through different parts of the boundary.

1. Let C be the curve given by the intersection of the cylinder x2 + y 2 = 4 and the plane
z = x in the first octant. Compute the mass of a wire with mass density δ(x, y, z) = xy
occupied by C.

2. Let the surface S be the part of the paraboloid z = x2 + y 2 that lies inside the cylinder
C : x2 + y 2 = 2y.

(a) Sketch S.
(b) Compute the area of S.

Hint: You may construct a parametrization of S by first parametrizing the points inside
the cylinder C that lie in the plane z = 0. Observe that x2 + y 2 = 2y is equivalent to
x2 + (y − 1)2 = 1.

3. Let a, b, c be real numbers and

F = (axy + 3yz)i + (x2 + 3xz + by 2 z)j + (bxy + cy 3 )k.

(a) Determine all values of a, b, c for which you can evaluate the integral C F •T ds along
a curve C from A = (0, 1, −1) to B = (2, 1, 1) without knowing exactly which curve.
R
(b) Determine the value of C F • T ds for a = 2, b = 3 and c = 1.

4. Let D be the volume inside the sphere x2 +y 2 +z 2 = 4 and outside the cylinder x2 +y 2 ≥ 1.
Let S1 denote the cylindrical part of the boundary of D and let S2 denote the spherical
part. Let
F = (x + yz)i + (y − xz)j + (z − ex sin(y))k.

(a) Sketch the boundary of D.


(b) Evaluate the flux of F out of D through the boundary of D using an integration
theorem (Green, Gauss, Stokes).
(c) Evaluate the flux of F out of D through the boundary of S1 using an integration
theorem (Green, Gauss, Stokes).
(d) Evaluate the flux of F out of D through the boundary of S2 .
