some problems, if you get the answer wrong, there is feedback at least giving
you the setup.
Problems
Let be the six outer faces of the box (i.e. , , ), oriented with outward
normals. Let . Then
The surface
closed. The components of the vector field have continuous partials
everywhere (they are polynomials), so we can use the Divergence Theorem.
The surface is correctlyincorrectly oriented. Now apply the Divergence
Theorem.
The setup after using Divergence Theorem is
Switch the order of integration on the integral . Switching the order gives the
integral
If and is the curve given by

This is a vector line integral, so we first check whether the vector field is
conservative. Notice

The endpoints of are
and
Plugging these into and subtracting gives
This is the line integral of a conservative vector field, and has potential
function . Now use FTLI.
If and are unit vectors and , then the angle between and is equal to (give
your answer between and ).
The answer should be .
If and is the triangle in the first octant connecting , , and , oriented
clockwise when viewed from above, then .
Use Stokes’ Theorem.
We first check whether is conservative. Note that
so is not conservative. Doing this line integral directly would involve
parametrizing three different line segments, so let us not do that. However, we
note that
closed, so we can use Stokes’ theorem. All we need to do is pick a surface
with as its boundary, and then compute instead. One surface we can choose
is the portion of the plane through those three points (i.e. filling in the
triangle with a plane). This plane has equation
Flux integrals depend on orientation, so we decide that now. For Stokes’
theorem to work, we need to pick
normals for .
Now we compute the flux integral. We parametrize as

Then
which is the wrong normal, so we negate it and use instead. The flux is then
Let be the region and above by . Consider the triple integral

The surface area is . In this case, this just amounts
to calculating
where is the domain for and . In this case,
and
the integral becomes
We cannot integrate in this order, so switch the order of integration:
The setup before integrating should be
Let be the portion of with , oriented with outward normals, and let .
Then
Notice that , so we cannot use Stokes’ Theorem/change the surface. The
surface is not closed, but we can close it and use Divergence Theorem. Let

will orient upward (arbitrary choice). For Divergence Theorem, is
oriented, and is
oriented. Therefore, the setup is
where is the enclosed solid region.
For the triple integral, it is most nicely computed in
coordinates, and the triple integral setup in cylindrical would
be
This evaluates to .
For the flux integral, we can parametrize the surface as for .
Then
which is the
normal. Therefore, the flux of through becomes
Putting everything together, we get an answer of .
Let and let be the portion of with , oriented with outward normals.
Then
There are two ways to do this: surface independence/divergence
theorem (with closing) or direct Stokes’ Theorem. The latter would
say

when viewed from above. Parametrize the circle as
for , which is oriented
. The line integral of over is therefore
You should try using surface independence/divergence theorem (with closing)
as well.
Let be the plane through the point which is perpendicular to the line given

A normal vector for the plane is the direction vector for the line, which is .
The answer is .
If and is the portion of where , oriented with outward normals,

Note that is not closed, but we can close it and try to use Divergence
Theorem. Note that . We can close it by adding which will be the disc in the
plane . We will orient downward (arbitrary choice). For Divergence Thoerem,
the surface is
oriented and is
oriented. Therefore,

normal, so we switch the sign on the vector to get a normal of . Using
this we get a flux of .
Therefore, the answer is .
Close and use Divergence Theorem, or just compute the flux directly. You
should get an answer of .
If is the disc , then .
The setup should be
If , evaluate , where is the curve , in three different ways. No matter which
way you do it, you get an answer of .
You can use the fact that is
conservative, you can use Green’s theorem, or you can do the line integral
directly.
Let be the solid region where , and let be the outer facing of the solid,
oriented with outward normals (i.e. is the closed surface consisting of the
hemisphere and the disc to close the hemisphere). If , then
Since is closed, we can use Divergence Theorem. The surface is correctly
oriented. The divergence of is . We can set the triple integral up in spherical.
It becomes
Let be the parallelogram with vertices , , , and , oriented clockwise when
viewed from above. If

Notice
which tells us that
conservative. To do this integral directly would involve four different line
segments, so we would like to avoid that. For Stokes’ Theorem, The
curl isn’t particularly nice, but maybe something nice will happen
when we take the flux. At this point, it seems like the only option.
The curve lies on a plane, and the equation of the plane is . We will let this
be our surface . We can parametrize the surface as

With the given orientation of , the surface should be oriented with normals
pointing in the
-direction. Now we compute

normal vector, so we can negate it when computing the flux. The flux of the curl is therefore
The answer should be .
If and is the curve given by for , then .
Doing this integral directly is
the best way to go since is not conservative and is not closed (and
this is a 3D vector field, not 2D where you can close and use Green’s
Theorem).
Doing this directly, the setup is
Use integration by parts.
