Stokes' Theorem problem, posted below shortly.

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Posting the prompt in an imgur link this time: http://i.imgur.com/yfzci0h.png

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\triangledown \times F \cdot n = \iint \text{(some stuff)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No... \[ \int_C\mathbf F ~d\mathbf r = \iint_S\nabla\times\mathbf F~d\mathbf S \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you want to evaluate using stokes thm first ?

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

I was like 99% sure that Stokes' Theorem had grad cross f dot n in its argument. What am I thinking of that isn't Stokes' but also has that integrand?

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

And yeah, using stokes theorem would be good.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay start by finding the curl : \(\nabla \times \vec{F} \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\vec{F} = \langle x^2y,~ y,~ xz\rangle \]

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Alright, doing that now. Need to remember how to write matrices in LaTeX again, lol...

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Whatever, just going to compute it without writing up the matrix.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Or is not a closed interval? :o

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

(I don't know the LaTeX command for that kind of integral, heh, looking at it now)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, it's the boundary of a surface

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Ah, got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it will be closed path

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Just learned Stokes like 3 days ago.

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Yeah, I'm trying to remember everything that I've already repeatedly learned, I have about the long term memory retention of a poodle.

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

\[\text{Curl} \ F=-(z)j+(x^2)k\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets double check with wolfram http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=curl+%28x%5E2y%2C+y%2C+xz%29

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Oh, yeah, I see why.

OpenStudy (mendicant_bias):

Alright, got that part. Man, I'm just out of willpower right now, this isn't even necessary tough, but I'm just burnt out from my previous three finals in the last ~36 hours. Somebody tell me to keep trying, lol.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this is fairly easy compared to your previous problem find the ndS and take dot product
