Although the gradient, divergence, and curl theorems are the fundamental integral theorems of vector calculus, it is possible to derive a number of corollaries from them. Show that:
(a). [Hint:Let v = cT, where c is a constant, in the divergence theorem; use the product rules.]
(b). [Hint:Replace v by (v x c) in the divergence
theorem.]
(c) . [Hint:Let in the
divergence theorem.]
(d). [Comment:This is sometimes
called Green's second identity; it follows from (c), which is known as
Green's identity.]
(e) [Hint:Let v = cT in Stokes' theorem.]
For Theorem 2, show that , , , and
Suppose that f is a function of two variables (y and z) only. Show that the gradient transforms as a vector under rotations, Eq 1.29. [Hint: and the analogous formula for . We know that localid="1654595255202" and 鈥漵olve鈥 these equations for y and z (as functions of localid="1654325243865" and (as functions of and ), and compute the needed derivatives , etc]
Prove that the divergence of a curl is always zero. Checkit for function in Prob. 1.15.
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.
