Step by step solution

01

Given Information.

The given information is,

F1=2xzi+yj+x2kF2=yi-xj

02

Definition of Green’s Theorem.

The Green's theorem connects a line integral around a simple closed curve C to a double integral over the plane region D circumscribed by C in vector calculus. Stokes' theorem has a two-dimensional special case.

03

Find the solution of (a) part.

a)If ×F=0 then F is said to be conservative.

role="math" localid="1659331799869" ×F1=ijkxyz2xzyx2=0-0i-2x-2xj+0-0k=0

So, F1 is conservative.

×F2=ijkxyzy-x0=0-0i-0-0j+-1-1k=-2k

So, F2 is not conservative

04

Find the solution of (b) part.

b) It is known thatF1=W..

Wx=(F1)x-2xz.......(1)Wy=(F1)y-yWz=(F1)z-x2......(2)

Now, integrate the below equation with respect to y.

W=ydy=12y2+gx,z

Where g is an arbitrary function in x and z only.

Substitute W in equation (1).

role="math" localid="1659332223371" Wx=gx=2xzgx,z=2xzdx=x2z+hz.....(3)

Where h is a function of z only.

Substitute value of equation (3) in equation (2).

WZ=x2+hz=x2hz=0hz=0

Where c is an arbitrary constant.

Therefore,

W=12y2+x2z

05

Find the solution of (c) part.

(c)F2dx=0,11,0ydx-xdy

Along the straight line (0,1) and (1,0), the relation between x and y is given by the equation y=1-xdy=-dx.

0,11,0ydx-xdy=011-x+xdx=c01=1

06

Find the solution of (d) part.

(d)

Use Green’s Theorem.

A(Q/x-P/y)dxdy=APdx+Qdy

Where Ais the boundary of the area A .

It can be seen that

P=yPy=1Q=-xQX=-1

Thus, the integral over some contour C the encloses area A is

cydx+xdy=A-1-1dxdy=-2Adxdy=-2A

So, for the triangle with vertices (0,0),(0,1),(1,0), its area is given by

role="math" localid="1659333082552" A=1211=12triangleF2dr=-2A=-1

But,

triangleF2dr=(1,0)(0,0)F2dr+(1,0)(0,1)F2dr+(1,0)(0,0)F2dr=01(0)dz+(0,1)(1,0)ydx-xdy+10-(0)dy=(0,1)(1,0)ydx-xdy(0,1)(1,0)ydx-xdy=-1(1,0)(0,1)ydx-xdy=1

Hence, the solutions of the problems are,

a)F2isnotconservative.b)W=12y2+x2zc)I=1d)I=1

The following equations are variously known as Green’s first and second identities or formulas or theorems. Derive them, as indicated, from the divergence theorem.

(1)volumeinsideσ(ϕ2ψ+ϕψ)=closedsurfaceσ(ϕψ)ndσ

To prove this, let in the divergence theorem.

(2)volumeinsideσ(ϕ2ψψ2ϕ)=closedsurfaceσ(ϕψψϕ)ndσ

To prove this, copy Theorem 1above as is and also with and interchanged; then subtract the two equations.

(a) Given Φ=x2-y2, sketch on one graph the curvesΦ=4,Φ=1,Φ=0,Φ=-1,Φ=-4. IfΦis the electrostatic potential, the curvesΦ=const. are equipotential, and the electric field is given byE=-Φ. IfΦis temperature, the curvesΦ= const. are isothermals andΦis the temperature gradient; heat flows in the direction-Φ.

(b) Find and draw on your sketch the vectors-Φat the points(x,y)=(+1,+1),(0,+2),(+2,0),. Then, remembering thatΦis perpendicular toΦ= const., sketch, without computation, several curves along which heat would flow [see (a)].
