Prove the following properties of the divergence and curl. Assume \(\mathbf{F}\) and \(\mathbf{G}\) are differentiable vector fields and \(c\) is a real number. a. \(\nabla \cdot(\mathbf{F}+\mathbf{G})=\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}+\nabla \cdot \mathbf{G}\) b. \(\nabla \times(\mathbf{F}+\mathbf{G})=(\nabla \times \mathbf{F})+(\nabla \times \mathbf{G})\) c. \(\nabla \cdot(c \mathbf{F})=c(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F})\) d. \(\nabla \times(c \mathbf{F})=c(\nabla \times \mathbf{F})\)
Circulation in a plane \(\mathrm{A}\) circle \(C\) in the plane \(x+y+z=8\) has a radius of 4 and center (2,3,3) . Evaluate \(\oint_{C} \mathbf{F} \cdot d \mathbf{r}\) for \(\mathbf{F}=\langle 0,-z, 2 y\rangle\) where \(C\) has a counterclockwise orientation when viewed from above. Does the circulation depend on the radius of the circle? Does it depend on the location of the center of the circle?
For the following velocity fields, compute the curl, make a sketch of the curl, and interpret the curl. $$v=\langle 0,0, y\rangle$$
\(A\) scalar-valued function \(\varphi\) is harmonic on a region \(D\) if \(\nabla^{2} \varphi=\nabla \cdot \nabla \varphi=0\) at all points of \(D\) Show that if \(u\) is harmonic on a region \(D\) enclosed by a surface \(S\) $$\text { then } \iint_{S} u \nabla u \cdot \mathbf{n} d S=\iiint_{D}|\nabla u|^{2} d V$$
Let \(S\) be a surface that represents a thin shell with density \(\rho .\) The moments about the coordinate planes (see Section 13.6 ) are \(M_{y z}=\iint_{S} x \rho(x, y, z) d S, M_{x z}=\iint_{S} y \rho(x, y, z) d S\) and \(M_{x y}=\iint_{S} z \rho(x, y, z) d S .\) The coordinates of the center of mass of the shell are \(\bar{x}=\frac{M_{y z}}{m}, \bar{y}=\frac{M_{x z}}{m}, \bar{z}=\frac{M_{x y}}{m},\) where \(m\) is the mass of the shell. Find the mass and center of mass of the following shells. Use symmetry whenever possible. The cylinder \(x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2}, 0 \leq z \leq 2,\) with density \(\rho(x, y, z)=1+z\)
