Short Answer

Expert verified

The left and right side gives same result. Hence, strokes theorem is verified.

Step by step solution

01

Define the Gauss divergence theorem

The integral derivativeof a function f(x,y,z)over an open surface area is equal to the volume integral of the function, ∫(∇·v)· dl=∮sv· ds.The right side of the gauss divergence theorem is the surface integral, that is, ∮sv·da

The diagram of the triangular path is shown below:

02

 Compute the curl of vector v

Let the vector be defined as v=xy i+2yz j+3zx kand the ∇operator be defined as ∇=∂∂xi+∂∂yj+∂∂zk. The divergence of vector v is computed as follows:

∇·v=∂∂xi+∂∂yj+∂∂zk·xy i+2yz j+3zx k=y+2z+3x

Now, compute the left part of gauss divergence theorem as:

∫∇·vdv=∫02∫02∫023x+2z+ydxdydz=∫02∫0232×4+2z×2+y×2dydz=∫02∫026+4z+2ydydz=∫0212+8z+4dz

Solve further as:

∫∇·vdv=12z+4z2+4z02=24+4×4+4z-0=48

Step 2: Compute the left side of strokes theorem

The area vector is given by da→= dydz ias the open surface area lies in y-z plane. The left part of the strokes theorem is calculated as:

∫S∇×v·da→=∫S-2yi -3zj -xk·dy dz i=∫S-2y dydz

The equation of line (i) is y+z=2. Along this line,z varies 0 to 2 and y varies from 0 to  2-z. Thus the integral ∫S∇×v·da→=∫S-2y dydz can be written as:

∫S∇×v·da→=∫02dz∫02-z-2y dy=∫02dz-2y2202-z=∫02dz-y202-z=∫02dz-2-z2-0

Solve further as,

∫S∇×v·da→=∫02-4+z2-4zdz=-4z+z33-2z202=-8+83-8-0=-83

The surface integral of vector v→, in the xy plane is computed as:

∫v· da=∫∫2xzi+x+2j+yz3-3kdx dy k=∫02∫02yz2-3 dx dy=∫02∫02y0-3 dx dy=∫02∫02-3y dx dy

03

Compute the right side of strokes theorem  

The differential length vector is given by dl→= dx i+dy j+dz k. The right part of the strokes theorem is calculated as:

∫v· dl=∫2xzi+x+2j+yz3-3kdx i+dy j+dz k=∫xy dx+2yz dy +3zx dz

Along the path (i),z=x=0 , thus dx= dz=0and y=0. Hence the above integral becomes, ∫v· dl=∫2yz dy .

Along the path (ii), x=0 , z=2-y thus dx=0and dz=-dy. Hence the above integral becomes,

∫v· dl=∫202y2-y dy =-∫024y-2y2 dy =-2y2-23y302=-8-163=-83

Along the path (ii)i, x=y=0 , thus dx=dy=0 and z varies deom 2 to 0.. Hence the integral ∫v· dlbecomes 0 along path (iii).

04

 Draw a conclusion 

The integral of all the three parts are added to give:

∫v· dl=0-83+0=83

Thus the left and right side gives same result. Hence strokes theorem is verified.
