stokes theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure how to parametrise this

OpenStudy (dan815):

the curve of intersection or the plane to do stokes?

OpenStudy (dan815):

plane: R(x,y)=<x,y,y+1> Curve of intersection: R(t)=<cos t,sint,sint+1>

OpenStudy (dan815):

do not try to intergrate over the curve it will get ugly

OpenStudy (dan815):

stokes simplies a lot so do integral <Del X F> .<Rx X Ry> dxdy over the domain x^2+y^2=1

OpenStudy (dan815):

do it in polar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to find the normal vector first right?

OpenStudy (dan815):

Rx X Ry gives u normal vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the parametrisation is ( rcos(theta) , rsin(theta) , sin (theta) +1 ) , right?

OpenStudy (dan815):

thats the paretrization of the curve

OpenStudy (dan815):

you wanna use the plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i differentaite partially r(x,y) to find the normal vector?

OpenStudy (dan815):

diff R wrt to X and R with y and cross them both

OpenStudy (dan815):

The cross product of 2 independent vectors of a plane will give you a normal vector to that plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got ( 0, -2x+4,-2) . (1,-1,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i use polar coordinates for this?

OpenStudy (dan815):

u can use dxdy too try to see what happens then

OpenStudy (dan815):

also dont think the normal vector you calculate is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1,-1,1) for normal vector

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0, -2x +4 , -2) for curl

OpenStudy (dan815):

the normal vector should have no component in the x direction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah (1,-1,1) is what i got for the normal vector

OpenStudy (dan815):

its wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(0,1,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait (0,-1,1)

OpenStudy (dan815):

yes carry on

OpenStudy (dan815):

you should watch these video ocw MIT multivariable calculus

OpenStudy (dan815):

theyre very nice, and easy to undertand

OpenStudy (dan815):

it will clear up all confusion

OpenStudy (dan815):

i must go to bed now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie thanks
