FALL 2007 — MA 227-6B — TEST 4

DECEMBER 5, 2007

Name:

1. Part I
There are 6 problems in Part 1, each worth 4 points. Place your answer on the line to the
right of the question. Only your answer on the answer line will be graded.
(1) Compute div F (= ∇ · F) when F(x, y, z) = hx + y, exyz , 5 cos(xy)i.

Solution: 1 + xzexyz , a scalar!

(2) Find the curl of the vector field F(x, y, z) = h3xyz, 0, −x2 yi.

Solution: h−x2 , 5xy, −3xzi, a vector!

(3) Compute grad f (= ∇f ) when f (x, y, z) = x2 + y + z.

Solution: h2x, 1, 1i

(4) Find a parametrization for the cone z = 2 x2 + y 2 .

2. Part II
There are 3 problems in Part 2, each worth 12 points. On Part 2 problems partial credit
is awarded where appropriate. Your solution must include enough detail to justify any
conclusions you reach in answering the question.
(1) Let C be the boundary of the unit square (with vertices at (0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), and
(0, 1)) oriented counterclockwise. Evaluate
Z
(2y dx + (x2 − x) dy)
C
by two methods: directly as a line integral and using Green’s Theorem.

Solution:
1. Using Green’s theorem:
Qx − Py = 2x − 1 − 2 = 2x − 3 needs to be integrated over the unit square, i.e.,
R1R1
0 0
(2x − 3)dydx = −2.
2. Directly:
There are four pieces which make up the curve C: On the vertical ones x2 − x = 0
and x0 (t) = 0. These contribute nothing to the integral. On the bottom one y = 0
and y 0 (t) = 0.
R 1 It also contributes nothing. On the top one x(t) = 1 − t, y(t) = 1 so
that we get 0 2(−dt) = −2.

(2) Find the work done by the force field F = 3x i + (y + 9) j on a particle that moves
along a line segment from the point (−1, 2) to the point (2, 3).

First Solution: R
Work is the given by the line integral C F · d r.
r(t) = h3t − 1, t + 2i where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. Therefore r0 (t) = h3, 1i.
F(x, y) = h3x, y + 9i, F( r(t)) = h9t − 3, t + 11i, F( r(t)) · r0 (t) = 27t − 9 + t + 11 =
28tR + 2. R1
C
F · d r = 0 (28t + 2)dt = 16.

Second Solution:
F is conservative with potential f (x, y) = 3x2 /2 + y 2 /2 + 9y. The line integral equals
then f (2, 3) − f (−1, 2) = 16.

(3) Find the surface area of that part of the paraboloid 3x2 + 3y 2 + z = 12 that lies above
the x-y-plane.

Solution:
We can use the polar coordinate r and θ as parameters:
r(r, θ) = hr cos(θ), r sin(θ), 12 − 3r2 i
Here 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. r may be as small as zero and becomes largest when z = 0 where
3r2 = 12, i.e, r2 ≤ 4 and r ≤ 2.
Compute the tangent vectors rr and rθ and form their cross product:
hcos(θ), sin(θ), −6ri × h−r sin(θ), r cos(θ), 0i
=h6r2 cos(θ), 6r2 sin(θ), ri.
√ √
The length of this normal vector is 36r4 + r2 = r 36r2 + 1.
Surface area is given by
ZZ ZZ Z 2 Z 2π √
dS = | rr × rθ |d(r, θ) = r 36r2 + 1dθdr.
S D 0 0
The θ-integration gives a factor 2π and for the r-integration we substitute u = 36r2 +
1, du = 72r dr. The new limits are given by 1 ≤ u ≤ 145. Thus the area is
2π 145 √
