Compute the divergence of the function
Check the divergence theorem for this function, using as your volume the inverted hemispherical bowl of radius R,resting on the xyplane and centered at the origin (Fig. 1.40).
Compute the line integral of
along the triangular path shown in Fig. 1.49. Check your answer using Stokes' theorem. [Answer:8/3]
Using the definitions in Eqs. 1.1 and 1.4, and appropriate diagrams, show that the dot product and cross product are distributive,
a) when the three vectors are coplanar;
b) in the general case.
The height of a certain hill (in feet) is given by
Where y is the distance (in miles) north, x the distance east of South Hadley.
(a) Where is the top of hill located?
(b) How high is the hill?
(c) How steep is the slope (in feet per mile) at a point 1 mile north and one mileeast of South Hadley? In what direction is the slope steepest, at that point?
Draw a circle in the xyplane. At a few representative points draw the vector v tangent to the circle, pointing in the clockwise direction. By comparing adjacent vectors, determinethe signofandAccording to Eq. 1.41, then, what is the direction of ? Explain how this example illustrates the geometrical interpretation of the curl.
