Step by step solution

01

Define the laplacian

The divergence of gradient is called as Laplacian of a vector. The vector v is defined as v=vxi+vyj+vzk. the operator is defined as ∇=∂∂xi+∂∂yj+∂∂zk. The value of Laplacian∇2vis obtained as

∇2v=∇2vxi+∇2vyj+∇2vzk

Here,∇2is the second ordered partial derivative of function.

 Compute∇2Ta 

(a)

To compute an expression substitute the vectors and other required expression and then simplify

The vectorTa⇶Äis defined as x2i+2xyj+3zk+4. The Laplacian of the vector o Ta⇶Äis defined as ∇2Ta=∂2Ta∂x2+∂2Ta∂y2+∂2Ta∂z2.

Substitute x2i+2xyj+3zk+4forT⇶Äainto∇2Ta=∂2Ta∂x2+∂2Ta∂y2+∂2Ta∂z2into .

localid="1657536994674" ∇2Ta=∂2x2i+2xyj+3zk+4∂x2∂2x2i+2xyj+3zk+4∂y2∂2x2i+2xyj+3zk+4∂z2

localid="1657537065407" =∂∂x∂2x2i+2xyj+3zk+4∂x2+∂∂x∂x2i+2xyj+3zk+4∂y+∂∂x∂2x2i+2xyj+3zk+4∂z=∂∂x2x+2y+0+0+∂∂x0+2x+0+0+∂∂x0+0+3+0=2

Thus the value of ∇2Tais2is 2.

03

 Compute∇2Tb 

(b)

To compute an expression substitute the vectors and other required expression and then simplify.

The vectorTb⇶Äis defined as sinxsinysinz. The Laplacian of the vectorTb⇶Äis defined as localid="1657538369566" ∇2Tb=∂2Tb∂x2+∂2Tb∂y2+∂2Tb∂z2.

Substitute sinxsinysinz for into ∇2Tb=∂2Tb∂x2+∂2Tb∂y2+∂2Tb∂z2

localid="1657604767825" ∇2Tb=∂2sinxsinysinz∂x2∂2sinxsinysinz∂y2∂2sinxsinysinz∂z2=∂∂x∂sinxsinysinz∂x+∂∂y∂sinxsinysinz∂y+∂∂z∂sinxsinysinz∂z=∂∂xcosxsinysinz+∂∂xsinxcosysinz+∂∂zsinxsinycosz=-sinxsinysinz-sinysinxsinz-sinzsinxsiny

Solve further as,

∇2Tb=-3sinxsinysinz

Thus, the value of ∇2Tbis-3sinxsinysinz.

Compute ∇2Tc 

(c)

To compute an expression substitute the vectors and other required expression and then simplify.

The vectorT→cis defined as e-5xsin4ycos3z. The Laplacian of the vectorT→cis defined as∇2Tc=∂2Tc∂x2+∂2Tc∂y2+∂2Tc∂z2.

Substitute role="math" localid="1657605202299" e-5xsin4ycos3zfor T→cinto ∆2Tc=∂2Tc∂x2+∂2Tc∂y2+∂2Tc∂z2.

Solve further as,

∇2Tb=e-5xsin4ycos3z25-16-9=0

Thus, the value of ∇2Tcis 0.

05

Compute ∇2v 

(d)

To compute an expression substitute the vectors and other required expression and then simplify.

The vector v→is defined as x2i+3xz2j-2xzk. The Laplacian of the vectorv→is defined as role="math" localid="1657606397182" ∇2v→=∂2v∂x2+∂2v∂y2+∂2v∂z2.

Substitute x2i+3xz2j-2xzkfor v→into ∇2v→=∂2v∂x2+∂2v∂y2+∂2v∂z2.

∇2v=∂2x2i+3xz2j-2xzk∂x2+∂2x2i+3xz2j-2xzk∂y2+∂2x2i+3xz2j-2xzk∂z2
