(a) The length of the vector y, x is

This value is not 1 for all points, hence it is not a unit vector eld.

Since the length is not identically 1, the eld is not a unit vector eld.
2. Sketch an example of a nonconstant vector eld in the plane in which each vector is parallel to 1, 1.
SOLUTION The non-constant vector x, x is parallel to the vector 1, 1.

x
3. Show that the vector eld F = z, 0, x is orthogonal to the position vector

OP at each point P. Give an example


of another vector eld with this property.
SOLUTION The position vector at P = (x, y, z) is x, y, z. We must show that the following dot product is zero:
x, y, z z, 0, x = x (z) + y 0 + z x = 0
S E C T I O N 17.1 Vector Fields (ET Section 16.1) 563
Therefore, the vector eld F = z, 0, x is orthogonal to the position vector. Another vector eld with this property is
F = 0, z, y, since
0, z, y x, y, z = 0 x +(z) y + y z = 0
4. Give an example of a potential function for yz, xz, xy other than (x, y, z) = xyz.
SOLUTION Since any two potential functions of a gradient vector eld differ by a constant, a potential function for the
given eld other than (x, y, z) = xyz is, for instance,
1
(x, y, z) = xyz +1.

Further Insights and Challenges
31. Show that any vector eld of the form F = f (x), g(y), h(z) has a potential function. Assume that f , g, and h are
continuous.
SOLUTION Let F(x), G(y), and H(z) be antiderivatives of f (x), g(y), and h(z), respectively. That is, F

(x) = f (x),
G

(y) = g(y), and H

(y) = h(z). We dene the function


(x, y, z) = F(x) + G(y) + H(z)
Then,

x
= F

(x) = f (x),

x
= G

(y) = g(y),

z
= H

(z) = h(z)
Therefore, = F, or is a potential function for F.
In this exercise, we show that the vector eld F in Figure 12 is not a gradient vector eld. Suppose that a
potential function did exist.

FIGURE 13
SOLUTION Given any two points P = (a, b) and Q = (c, d) in D, we must show that
(P) = (Q)
We consider the point R = (c, b) and the segments PR and

RQ. (We assume that (c, b) is in D; if not, just use
R

= (a, d).)
x
y
D
P = (a, b)
R = (c, b)
Q = (c, d)
Since

x
(x, y) = 0 in D, in particular

x
(x, b) = 0 for a x c. Therefore, for a x c we have
(x, b) =
_
x
a

u
(u, b) du +(a, b) =
_
x
a
0 du +(a, b) = k +(a, b)
Substituting x = a determines k = 0. Hence,
(x, b) = (a, b) for a x c
In particular,
(c, b) = (a, b) (R) = (P) (1)
Similarly, since

y
(x, y) = 0 in D, we have

y
(c, y) = 0 for b y d. Therefore for b y d we have
(c, y) =
_
y
b

v
(c, v) dv +(c, b) =
_
y
b
0 dv +(c, b) = k +(c, b)
Substituting y = b gives (c, b) = k +(c, b) or k = 0. Therefore,
(c, y) = (c, b) for b y d
In particular,
(c, d) = (c, b) (Q) = (R) (2)
Combining (1) and (2) we obtain the desired equality (P) = (Q). Since P and Q are any two points in D, we
conclude that is constant on D.
17.2 Line Integrals (ET Section 16.2)
Preliminary Questions
1. What is the line integral of the constant function f (x, y, z) = 10 over a curve C of length 5?
568 C HA P T E R 17 LI NE AND SURFACE I NTEGRALS (ET CHAPTER 16)
SOLUTION Since the length of C is the line integral
_
C
1 ds = 5, we have
_
C
10 ds = 10
_
C
1 ds = 10 5 = 50
2. Which of the following have a zero line integral over the vertical segment from (0, 0) to (0, 1)?
(a) f (x, y) = x (b) f (x, y) = y
(c) F = x, 0 (d) F = y, 0
(e) F = 0, x (f) F = 0, y
SOLUTION The vertical segment from (0, 0) to (0, 1) has the parametrization
c(t ) = (0, t ), 0 t 1
Therefore, c

(t ) = 0, 1 and c

(t ) = 1. The line integrals are thus computed by

(a) We have f (c(t )) = x = 0. Therefore by (1) the line integral is zero.

(c) This vector line integral is computed using (2). Since F(c(t )) = x, 0 = 0, 0, the vector line integral is zero.
(d) By (2) we have
_
C
F ds =

(e) The vector integral is computed using (2). Since F(c(t )) = 0, x = 0, 0, the line integral is zero.
(f) For this vector eld we have

So, we conclude that (a), (c), (d), and (e) have an integral of zero.
3. State whether true or false. If false, give the correct statement.
(a) The scalar line integral does not depend on how you parametrize the curve.
(b) If you reverse the orientation of the curve, neither the vector nor the scalar line integral changes sign.
SOLUTION
(a) True: It can be shown that any two parametrizations of the curve yield the same value for the scalar line integral,
hence the statement is true.
(b) False: For the denition of the scalar line integral, there is no need to specify a direction along the path, hence
reversing the orientation of the curve does not change the sign of the integral. However, reversing the orientation of the
curve changes the sign of the vector line integral.
4. Let C be a curve of length 5. What is the value of
_
C
F ds if
(a) F(P) is normal to C at all points P on C?
(b) F(P) = T(P) at all points P on C, where T(P) is the unit tangent vector pointing in the forward direction along the
curve?
SOLUTION
(a) The vector line integral is the integral of the tangential component of the vector eld along the curve. Since F(P) is
normal to C at all points P on C, the tangential component is zero, hence the line integral
_
C
F ds is zero.
(b) In this case we have
F(P) T(P) = T(P) T(P) = T(P)

= 1
Therefore,

SOLUTION The vector line integral of F is the integral of the tangential component of F along the curve. The positive
direction of a curve is counterclockwise.

For the vector eld in (A), the line integral around the circle is zero because the contribution of the negative tangential
components from the upper part of the circle is the same as the contribution of the positive tangential components from
the lower part. For the vector in (B) the contribution of the negative tangential component appear to dominate over the
positive contribution, hence the line integral is negative. In (C), the vector eld is orthogonal to the unit tangent vector at
each point, hence the line integral is zero.
Determine whether the line integrals around the curves (oriented counterclockwise) in Figures 14(A) and (B) are
positive or negative. What is the value of the line integral in Figure 14(C)? Explain.

SOLUTION F is a conservative force, since F = with potential energy (x, y) = ln y ln x. The work required

consequently F is conservative. Therefore:

. Hint:
Find a potential function for F.
SOLUTION The force of gravity is F = 0, 0, mg, therefore F = for (x, y, z) = mgz. The work performed
by the gravitational eld is the line integral of F over the path. Since F is conservative, the energy is independent of the
path connecting the two points. Using the Fundamental Theorem for Gradient Vector Fields we have:

(c) D is not simply-connected since it has a hole at the origin.
(d) The requirement in Theorem 4 (that the domain be simply connected) is a sufcient condition for a vector eld with
equal cross-partials to have a potential function. It is not necessary, since as in our example, even if the domain is not
simply-connected the eld may have a gradient function. Moreover, for any closed curve in D, have the same value
after completing one round along c. This is perhaps best seen by noting that = log(r) in polar coordinates, which will
be independent of . Therefore,

SOLUTION We show that x = 2u +1, y = u v, and z = 3u +v satisfy the equation of the plane,
2x y z = 2(2u +1) (u v) (3u +v) = 4u +2 u +v 3u v = 2
Moreover, for any x, y, z satisfying 2x y z = z, there are values of u and v such that x = 2u + 1, y = u v, and
z = 3u +v, since the following equations can be solved for u and v:
x = 2u +1
y = u v
z = 3u +v

Part of the unit sphere centered at the origin, where x 0 and |y| x; f (x, y, z) = x

Then show, by adding the three integrals in part (b), that

.
SOLUTION
(a) Since the sphere is symmetric with respect to the yz-plane, the surface integrals of x over the hemispheres on the
two sides of the plane cancel each other and the result is zero. The two other integrals are zero due to the symmetry of
the sphere with respect to the xz and xy-planes.
(b) Since the sphere is symmetric with respect to the xy, xz and yz-planes, interchanging x and y in the integral for
__
S
x
2
dS does not change the value of the integral and the result is
__
S
y
2
dS. The equality for
__
S

2
dS is explained
similarly.
On the sphere, we have x
2
+ y
2

so, using properties of integrals, the integral for surface area, and the
surface area of the sphere of radius R we obtain:

Pappuss Theorem Also called Guldins Rule, Pappuss Theorem states that the area of a surface of revolution
S is equal to the length L of the generating curve times the distance traversed by the center of mass. Use Eq. (13) to
prove Pappuss Theorem. If C is the graph z = g(y) for c y d, then the center of mass is dened as the point
49. Compute the surface area of the torus in Exercise 47 using Pappuss Theorem.

The center of mass of the circle is at the center (y, z) = (b, 0), and it traverses a circle of radius b centered at the origin.

A uid ows with constant velocity eld v = 2k (m/s). Calculate:
(a) The ow rate through T
(b) The ow rate through the projection of T onto the xy-plane [the triangle with vertices (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), and

29. Assume that i (t ) = t (12 t ) A (t in seconds). Calculate the ux (t ), at time t , of B through a rectangle of
dimensions L H = 3 2 m, whose top and bottom edges are parallel to the wire and whose bottom edge is located

We choose the coordinate system as shown in the gure. Therefore the rectangle R is the region:

Since the magnetic eld points into the page and Ris oriented with normal vector pointing out of the page (as in Example

This shows that S is not orientable, that is, it is not possible to choose a nonzero normal vector at each point on S
in a continuously varying manner (if it were possible, the unit normal vector returns to itself rather than its negative
when carried around the circle).

SOLUTION In (A), the line integral around the ellipse appears to be positive, because the negative tangential compo-
nents from the lower part of the curve appears to be smaller than the positive contribution of the tangential components
from the upper part.
In (B), the line integral around the ellipse appears to be zero, since F is orthogonal to the ellipse at all points except
for two points where the tangential components of F cancel each other.
In (C), F is orthogonal to the path, hence the tangential component is zero at all points on the curve. Therefore the
line integral
_
C
F ds is zero.
In (D), the direction of F is opposite to the direction of the curve. Therefore the dot product F T is negative at each
point along the curve, resulting in a negative line integral.

SOLUTION We substitute x = u + av, y = bu + v and z = 2u c in the equation of the plane 3x 4y + z = 5, to
obtain:
5 = 3x 4y + z = 3(u +av) 4(bu +v) +2u c = (5 4b)u +(3a 4)v c
or
(5 4b)u +(3a 4)v (5 +c) = 0

5 4b = 0 b =
