1. Let = {(x, y, z) R3 | x = t cos t, y = t sin t, z = t, t [0, 1]}. Calculate the line integral of the scalar
field (x, y, z) 7 z with respect to arc length, i.e.,
Z

2. Evaluate the line integral C xy 4 ds where C is the right half of a circle, i.e., C = {(x, y) R2 |x2 + y 2 =
R

3. Compute yex ds where is the line segment from (1, 2) to (4, 7).

4. Calculate the line integral of the vector field F (x, y, z) = (2xy, x2 + z, y) along the line segment from
(1, 0, 2) to (3, 4, 1).
5. Find the integral of the vector field

6. Let G(x, y) be the same vector field as given above. Find the integral of G along the curve C, obtained
by joining (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1) by line segments respectively.
7. Compute

R dx+dy
(b) C |x|+|y| , where C is the square with vertices (1, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0) and (0, 1), traversed once in a
counterclockwise direction.
8. Prove that the line integral of a vector field is independent of path if and only if its line integral over
every closed path is zero. Such vector fields are called conservative.
9. Sketch the region H = {(x, y) | 0.5 < |x| < 1, |y| < 1} {(x, y) | |x| < 1, |y| < 0.5}. Prove that the
vector field

10. Suppose an object moves from (1, 1) to (2, 4) along the path C(t) = (t, t2 ), subject to the force
F (x, x) = (x sin y, y). Find the work done.
