Preliminary Questions
1. Which of the following is a unit vector field in the plane?
(a) F = y, x
 
y x
(b) F =  ,
x 2 + y2 x 2 + y2
 
y x
(c) F = 2 ,
x + y2 x 2 + y2
SOLUTION
(a) The length of the vector y, x is

y, x = y2 + x 2

This value is not 1 for all points, hence it is not a unit vector field.
(b) We have

x +y
2 2 x +y 2 x 2 + y2

Hence the field is a unit vector field, for (x, y)  = (0, 0).
(c) We compute the length of the vector:

2 = 2 + y2

2 2 x

Since the length is not identically 1, the field is not a unit vector field.
2. Sketch an example of a nonconstant vector field 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.

3. Show that the vector field F = −z, 0, x is orthogonal to the position vector O P at each point P. Give an example
of another vector field 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 field F = −z, 0, x is orthogonal to the position vector. Another vector field 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, x z, x y other than ϕ (x, y, z) = x yz.
SOLUTION Since any two potential functions of a gradient vector field differ by a constant, a potential function for the
given field other than φ (x, y, z) = x yz is, for instance, φ1 (x, y, z) = x yz + 1.

SOLUTION To find the vector assigned to the point P = (0, 1, 1), we substitute x = 0, y = 1, z = 1 in F = x y, z 2 , x.
We get

F(P) = 0 · 1, 12 , 0 = 0, 1, 0

Similarly, F(Q) is obtained by substituting x = 2, y = 1, z = 0 in F. That is,

F(Q) = 2 · 1, 02 , 2 = 2, 0, 2

F(Q) = 〈2, 0, 2〉 F(P) = 〈0, 1, 0〉

SOLUTION By the equality ∇ ϕ = F and since the gradient vectors are perpendicular to the level curves, it follows that
the vectors F are perpendicular to the corresponding level curves of ϕ . This property is satisfied in (B) and not satisfied
in (A). Therefore (B) is the contour plot of ϕ .

SOLUTION Since r = (x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) , we have ϕ = ln (x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) = 12 ln(x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ). We compute the

(a) One positive and one negative charge
continuous.
(b) Two positive charges
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),
(c) Two positive charges and one negative charge
G
(y) = g(y), and H
(y) = h(z). We define the function

Therefore, ∇ ϕ = F, or ϕ is a potential function for F.

In this exercise, we show that the vector field F in Figure 12 is not a gradient vector field. Suppose that a

33. Show that if ∇ ϕ (x, y) = 0 for all (x, y) in a disk D in R2 , then ϕ is constant on D. Hint: Given points P = (a, b)
and Q = (c, d) in D, let R = (c, b) (Figure 13). Use single-variable calculus to show that ϕ is constant along the
segments P R and R Q and conclude that ϕ (P) = ϕ (R).

∂ϕ ∂ϕ
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  x
∂ϕ
ϕ (x, b) = (u, b) du + ϕ (a, b) = 0 du + ϕ (a, b) = k + ϕ (a, b)
a ∂u a

Substituting x = a determines k = 0. Hence,

ϕ (x, b) = ϕ (a, b) for a ≤ x ≤ c

In particular,

ϕ (c, b) = ϕ (a, b) ⇒ ϕ (R) = ϕ (P) (1)


∂ϕ ∂ϕ
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
 y  y
∂ϕ
ϕ (c, y) = (c, v) dv + ϕ (c, b) = 0 dv + ϕ (c, b) = k + ϕ (c, b)
b ∂v b

Substituting y = b gives ϕ (c, b) = k + ϕ (c, b) or k = 0. Therefore,

ϕ (c, y) = ϕ (c, b) for b ≤ y ≤ d

In particular,

ϕ (c, d) = ϕ (c, b) ⇒ ϕ (Q) = ϕ (R) (2)

Combining (1) and (2) we obtain the desired equality ϕ (P) = ϕ (Q). Since P and Q are any two points in D, we
conclude that ϕ 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 H A P T E R 17 L I N E A N D S U R FA C E I N T E G R A L S (ET CHAPTER 16)


SOLUTION Since the length of C is the line integral C 1 ds = 5, we have
 
10 ds = 10 1 ds = 10 · 5 = 50
C C

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

C 0

(a) We have f (c(t)) = x = 0. Therefore by (1) the line integral is zero.
(b) By (1), the line integral is
  1 
1 1 1
f (x, y) ds = t · 1 dt = t 2  =  = 0
C 0 2 0 2
(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
  1  1
F · ds = t, 0 · 0, 1 dt = 0 dt = 0
C 0 0
(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 field we have
  1  1  1

F · ds = F (c(t)) · c
(t) dt = 0, t · 0, 1 dt = t dt =  =  = 0
C 0 0 0 2 0 2
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 definition 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 F · ds if
C
(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 field 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)2 = 1

Therefore,
  
F · ds = (F · T) ds = 1 ds = Length of C = 5.

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.
T

For the vector field 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 field is orthogonal to the unit tangent vector at
each point, hence the line integral is zero.

SOLUTION We find a potential function ϕ (x, y, z) for F, using the following steps.
∂ϕ
Step 1. Use the condition ∂ x = F1 . ϕ is an antiderivative of F1 = 2x y + 5 when y and z are fixed, therefore,

ϕ (x, y, z) = (2x y + 5) d x = x 2 y + 5x + g(y, z) (1)

∂ϕ
Step 2. Use the condition ∂ y = F2 . We have,

∂  2 
x y + 5x + g(y, z) = x 2 − 4z
∂y
x 2 + g y (y, z) = x 2 − 4z ⇒ g y (y, z) = −4z

We integrate with respect to y, holding z fixed:



g(y, z) = −4z d y = −4zy + h(z)

Combining with (1) gives:

ϕ (x, y, z) = x 2 y + 5x − 4zy + h(z) (2)


∂ϕ
Step 3. Use the condition ∂z = F3 . We have,

∂  2 
x y + 5x − 4zy + h(z) = −4y
∂z
−4y + h
(z) = −4y
h
(z) = 0 ⇒ h(z) = c

Substituting in (2) we obtain the general potential function:

ϕ (x, y, z) = x 2 y + 5x − 4zy + c

To compute the line integral we need one of the potential functions. We choose c = 0 to obtain the function,

ϕ (x, y, z) = x 2 y + 5x − 4zy

We now use the Fundamental Theorem for Gradient Vector Fields to evaluate the line integral:

  
F · ds = ϕ γ (2) − ϕ γ (0) = ϕ (4, 0, 1) − ϕ (0, 0, 1) = 20 − 0 = 20

Since the cross partials condition is satisfied at all points, F is conservative. We find a potential function for F.
∂ϕ
Step 1. Use the condition ∂ x = F1 . ϕ is an antiderivative of F1 = 2x yz when y and z are fixed. Therefore:

ϕ (x, y, z) = 2x yz d x = x 2 yz + g(y, z) (1)

∂ϕ
Step 2. Use the condition ∂ y = F2 . By (1) we have:

∂ϕ  
= x 2 yz + g(y, z) = x 2 z
∂y
x 2 z + g y (y, z) = x 2 z ⇒ g y (y, z) = 0

It follows that g(y, z) = h(z). Substituting in (1) gives

ϕ (x, y, z) = x 2 yz + h(z) (2)


∂ϕ
Step 3. Use the condition ∂z = F3 . This condition along with (2) gives:

∂  
= x 2 yz + h(z) = x 2 y
∂z
x 2 y + h
(z) = x 2 z
h
(z) = 0 ⇒ h(z) = C

Substituting in (2) we get

ϕ (x, y, z) = x 2 yz + C

Since only one potential function is needed, we choose the one corresponding to C = 0. That is,

ϕ (x, y, z) = x 2 yz

Using the Fundamental Theorem for Gradient Vectors we obtain:



F · ds = ϕ (3, 2, 1) − ϕ (0, 0, 0) = 32 · 2 · 1 − 0 = 18

SOLUTION Since ∂ y1 = ∂∂y (0) = 0 and ∂ x2 = ∂∂x (x) = 1, we have ∂ y1  = ∂ x2 . Therefore F does not satisfy the

Since F satisfies the cross partials condition everywhere, F is conservative. We find a potential function for F.
∂ϕ
Step 1. Use the condition ∂ x = F1 . ϕ is an antiderivative of F1 = y when y and z are fixed. Therefore:

ϕ (x, y, z) = y d x = yx + g(y, z) (1)

∂ϕ
Step 2. Use the condition ∂ y = F2 . By (1) we have:


(yx + g(y, z)) = x
∂y
x + g y (y, z) = x ⇒ g y (y, z) = 0

Therefore, g(y, z) = g(z). Substituting in (1) gives:

ϕ (x, y, z) = yx + g(z) (2)


∂ϕ
Step 3. Use the condition ∂z = F3 . Using (2) we have:


(yx + g(z)) = z 3

We see that the conditions are satisfied, therefore F is conservative. We find a potential function for F.
∂ϕ
Step 1. Use the condition ∂ x = F1 . ϕ (x, y, z) is an antiderivative of F1 = cos z when y and z are fixed, therefore:

ϕ (x, y, z) = cos z d x = x cos z + g(y, z) (1)

We integrate with respect to y, holding z fixed:



g(y, z) = 2y d y = y 2 + g(z)

Substituting in (1) gives

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 field may have a gradient function. Moreover, for any closed curve in D, ϕ have the same value

(b) Find the area of S = (D), where D = {(u, v) : 0 ≤ u ≤ 2, 0 ≤ v ≤ 1}.

(c) Express f (x, y, z) = yz in terms of u and v and evaluate f (x, y, z) d S.

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 x −1 x −1
⇒ u= , v= −y
z = 3u + v 2 2
2x − y − z = 2

We conclude that (u, v) parametrizes the whole plane 2x − y − z = 2.

f (, (u, v)) = u u 2 cos2 v + u 2 sin2 v = u · u 2 = u 3

SOLUTION The cylinder has the following parametrization in cylindrical coordinates:

(θ , z) = (2 cos θ , 2 sin θ , z), 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π , 0 ≤ z ≤ 4

Step 1. Compute the tangent and normal vectors. The tangent vectors are the partial derivatives:

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 x z and x y-planes.

S x d S does not change the value of the integral and the result is S y d S. The equality for S z d S is explained
similarly.
On the sphere, we have x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = R 2 so, using properties of integrals, the integral for surface area, and the
surface area of the sphere of radius R we obtain:

49. Compute the surface area of the torus in Exercise 47 using Pappus’s Theorem.
Pappus’s Theorem Also called Guldin’s Rule, Pappus’s 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 Pappus’s Theorem. If C is the graph z = g(y) for c ≤ y ≤ d, then the center of mass is defined as the point

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.
Therefore, the center of mass makes a distance of 2π b. Using Pappus’ Theorem, the area of the torus is:

L · 2π a = 2π a · 2π b = 4π 2 ab.

Preliminary Questions
1. Let F be a vector field and (u, v) a parametrization of a surface S, and set n = Tu × Tv . Which of the following
is the normal component of F?
(a) F · n (b) F · en
SOLUTION The normal component of F is F · en rather than F · n.

2. The vector surface integral F · dS is equal to the scalar surface integral of the function (choose the correct
S
answer):
(a) F
(b) F · n, where n is a normal vector
(c) F · en , where en is the unit normal vector

SOLUTION The vector surface integral
 S F ·
dS is defined as the scalar surface integral of the normal component of
F on the oriented surface. That is, S F · dS = S (F · en ) d S as stated in (c).

3. F · dS is zero if (choose the correct answer):
S
(a) F is tangent to S at every point.
(b) F is perpendicular to S at every point.

SOLUTION Since S F · dS is equal to the scalar surface integral of the normal component of F on S, this integral is
zero when the normal component is zero at every point, that is, when F is tangent to S at every point as stated in (a).

4. If F(P) = en (P) at each point on S, then F · dS is equal to (choose the correct answer):
S
(a) Zero (b) Area(S) (c) Neither
SOLUTION If F(P) = en (P) at each point on S, then,:
   
F · dS = (en · en ) d S = en 2 d S = 1 d S = Area(S)
S S S S

Therefore, (b) is the correct answer.

5. Let S be the disk x 2 + y 2 ≤ 1 in the x y-plane oriented with normal in the positive z-direction. Determine F · dS
S
for each of the following vector constant fields:
(a) F = 1, 0, 0
(b) F = 0, 0, 1
(c) F = 1, 1, 1
SOLUTION The unit normal vector to the oriented disk is en = 0, 0, 1.
(a)
 Since F · en = 1, 0, 0 · 0, 0, 1 = 0, F is perpendicular to the unit normal vector at every point on S, therefore
S F · dS = 0.
(b) Since F = en at every point on S, we have:
   
F · dS = (en · en ) d S = en 2 d S = 1 d S = Area(S) = π
S S S S

(c) For F = 1, 1, 1 we have:

Since S is a tiny surface, we may assume that the dot product F · en on S is equal to the dot product at the sample point.
This gives the following approximation:

That is,

We are given that Area(S) = 0.05. We compute the dot product:

S
= 0.2 (F (P1 ) · en (P1 ) + F (P2 ) · en (P2 ) + F (P3 ) · en (P3 ))

We compute the dot product. Since F and en are unit vectors, we have:

F (P1 ) · en (P1 ) = cos 85◦ ≈ 0.0872


F (P2 ) · en (P2 ) = cos 90◦ = 0
F (P3 ) · en (P3 ) = cos 95◦ ≈ −0.0872

Substituting gives the following estimation:



F · dS ≈ 0.2(0.0872 + 0 − 0.0872) = 0.

We write F = y, z, x in terms of the parameters x = u 2 − v, y = u + v, z = v 2 and then compute F · n:

F ((u, v)) · n(u, v) = u + v, v 2 , u 2 − v · 2v, −4uv, 2u + 1

Step 2. Evaluate the dot product F · n. We write F in terms of the parameters:

For 0 ≤ φ ≤ π2 we have sin φ cos φ ≥ 0, therefore n points to the outside of the hemisphere.

Since the orientation of S is with an upward pointing normal, the z-coordinate of n must be positive. Hence:

Step 2. Evaluate the dot product F · n. We first express F in terms of the parameters:

Since the normal is pointing downward, the z-coordinate is negative, hence,

Since the normal points to the positive z-direction, the normal vector is,

n = 6r k = 0, 0, 6r 

Step 2. Compute the dot product v · n. We write the velocity vector in terms of the parameters:

Hence,

v · n = 12r 3 cos2 θ sin θ · 6r = 72r 4 cos2 θ sin θ

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.

We compute the cross product:

Tθ × Tz = ((−3 sin θ )i + (3 cos θ )j) × k = (3 sin θ )j + (3 cos θ )i = 3 cos θ , 3 sin θ , 0

The outward pointing normal is (when θ = 0, the x-component must be positive):

n = 3 cos θ , 3 sin θ , 0
 
Step 2. Evaluate the dot product F · n. We write F(x, y, z) = y, x 2 y, e x z in terms of the parameters by substituting
x = 3 cos θ , y = 3 sin θ . We get:
   
F ((θ , z)) = 3 sin θ , 9 cos2 θ · 3 sin θ , e3z cos θ = 3 sin θ , 27 cos2 θ sin θ , e3z cos θ

Hence:
 
F ((θ , z)) · n = 3 sin θ , 27 cos2 θ sin θ , e3z cos θ · 3 cos θ , 3 sin θ , 0

= 9 sin θ cos θ + 81 cos2 θ sin2 θ

Step 3. Evaluate the surface integral. The surface integral is equal to the following double integral (we use the trigono-

SOLUTION The upper hemisphere is parametrized by:

π
(θ , φ ) = (2 cos θ sin φ , 2 sin θ sin φ , 2 cos φ ), 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π , 0≤φ≤
2
As seen in section 17.4, since 0 ≤ φ ≤ π2 then the outward-pointing normal is:
 
n = 4 sin φ cos θ sin φ , sin θ sin φ , cos φ

We express F in terms of the parameters:


      
F (θ , φ ) = x 2 , y 2 , x 2 + y 2 = 4 cos2 θ sin2 φ , 4 sin2 θ sin2 φ , 4 sin2 φ cos2 θ + sin2 θ
 
= 4 cos2 θ sin2 φ , 4 sin2 θ sin2 φ , 4 sin2 φ

The dot product F · n is thus


   
F (θ , φ ) · n(θ , φ ) = 4 sin 4 cos3 θ sin3 φ + 4 sin3 θ sin3 φ + 4 sin2 φ cos φ
 
= 16 cos3 θ sin4 φ + sin3 θ sin4 φ + sin3 φ cos φ

SOLUTION We parametrize the surface by:

(x, y) = (x, y, x y)

Where the parameter domain is the square:

D = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0 ≤ y ≤ 1}

Step 1. Compute the tangent and normal vectors.

F ((x, y)) = 0, 0, x ze x y = 0, 0, x(x y)e x y = 0, 0, x 2 ye x y

Hence:
 
F ((x, y)) · n(x, y) = 0, 0, x 2 ye x y · −y, −x, 1 = x 2 ye x y

if the charge density in cylindrical coordinates is ρ(θ , z) = K z 2 cos2 θ , where K is a constant.
