Example Question #1 : Surface Integrals

Let S be a known surface with a boundary curve, C.

Considering the integral $\oint_{C}\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s}={(y^3z^4)}dx$ , utilize Stokes' Theorem to determine an equivalent integral of the form:

$\int \int_{S} curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A}$

Possible Answers:

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(12y^3z^3)\widehat{j}+(-9y^2z^4)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(12y^3z^3)\widehat{i}+(-9y^2z^4)\widehat{j}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(12y^3z^3)\widehat{j}+(9y^2z^4)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(4y^3z^3)\widehat{j}+(3y^2z^4)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(4y^3z^3)\widehat{j}+(-3y^2z^4)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

Correct answer:

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(4y^3z^3)\widehat{j}+(-3y^2z^4)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

Explanation:

In order to utilize Stokes' theorem, note its form

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} = \oint_{C}\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s}$

The curl of a vector function F over an oriented surface S is equivalent to the function F itself integrated over the boundary curve, C, of S.

Note that

$curl(\overrightarrow{F})=\begin{bmatrix} \widehat{i}& \widehat{j}& \widehat{k}\\ \frac{\delta}{\delta x}&\frac{\delta}{\delta y} &\frac{\delta}{\delta z} \\ F_x&F_y &F_z \end{bmatrix}=(\frac{\delta F_z}{\delta y}-\frac{\delta F_y}{\delta z})\widehat{i}+(\frac{\delta F_x}{\delta z}-\frac{\delta F_z}{\delta x})\widehat{j}+(\frac{\delta F_y}{\delta x}-\frac{\delta F_x}{\delta y})\widehat{k}$

From what we're told

$\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s}={(y^3z^4)}dx$

Meaning that

F_x=y^3z^4;F_y=0;F_z=0

From this we can derive our curl vectors

$\begin{align*}&\frac{\delta F_z}{\delta y}-\frac{\delta F_y}{\delta z}=0-0=0 \\ &\frac{\delta F_x}{\delta z}-\frac{\delta F_z}{\delta x}=4y^3z^3-0=4y^3z^3 \\ &\frac{\delta F_y}{\delta x}-\frac{\delta F_x}{\delta y}=0-3y^2z^4=-3y^2z^4\end{align*}$

This allows us to set up our surface integral

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(4y^3z^3)\widehat{j}+(-3y^2z^4)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}$

Explanation:

In order to utilize Stokes' theorem, note its form

$\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} = \oint_{C}\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s}$

The curl of a vector function F over an oriented surface S is equivalent to the function F itself integrated over the boundary curve, C, of S.

Note that

From what we're told

$\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s}={(sin{(xy)})}dx+{(x^2y)}dz$

Meaning that

$F_x=sin{(xy)};F_y=0;F_z=x^2y$

From this we can derive our curl vectors

$\begin{align*}&\frac{\delta F_z}{\delta y}-\frac{\delta F_y}{\delta z}=0-0=0 \\ &\frac{\delta F_x}{\delta z}-\frac{\delta F_z}{\delta x}=1-1=0 \\ &\frac{\delta F_y}{\delta x}-\frac{\delta F_x}{\delta y}=0-2=-2\end{align*}$

This allows us to set up our surface integral

${\iint_{S}curl(\overrightarrow{F})\cdot d\overrightarrow{A} =[(-2)\widehat{k}]\cdot\overrightarrow{A}}$
