Compute the line integral of

v=(rcos2θ)r^-(rcosθsinθ)θ^+3rϕ^

around the path shown in Fig. 1.50 (the points are labeled by their Cartesian coordinates).Do it either in cylindrical or in spherical coordinates. Check your answer, using Stokes' theorem. [Answer:3rr /2]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The line integral is evaluated to be 3Ï€2. The left and right side of the Stokes theorem gives same result. Hence strokes theorem is verified.

Step by step solution

01

Describe the given information

The given vector is, v=(rcos2θ)r^-(rcosθsinθ)θ^+3rϕ^. The line integral of the given vector has to be evaluated over the path drawn as follows:

02

Define the Stokes theorem

The integral of curl of a function f(x,y,z)over an open surface area is equal to the line integral of the function ∫(∇×v).ds=∮bv.dl.

03

Compute the left side of strokes theorem

The formula of curl of a vector in spherical coordinates is

The curl of the vectorv=(rcos2θ)r^-(rcosθsinθ)θ^+3rϕ^ is obtained as

∇×v=1rsinθ∂(sinθ(3r))∂θ-∂rcosθsinθ∂ϕr^+1r1sinθ∂rcos2θ∂ϕ-∂(r(3r))∂rθ^+1r∂(r(rcosθsinθ∂r-∂(rcos2θ)∂θϕ^

=1rsinθ(3r)cosθr^+1r(-6r)θ^+0=3cotθr^-6^θ

The differential elemental area is da=rdrdθϕ^ . Substitute role="math" localid="1654664744003" 3cotr^-6^θfor ∇×v, into the stokes theorem ∫(∇×v).dτ=-∫v.da

04

Compute the right side of strokes theorem 

The differential length vector is given bydl=drr^+rdθθ^+rsinθϕ^ . Along the path, localid="1654672580270" θ=π2,θ=0 0 and r varies from 0 to 1.Hence the line integral becomes,

localid="1654672141711" ∫v.dl=∫(rcos2θr^-(r³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)θ^+3rÏ•^)(drr^+»åθθ^+r²õ¾±²Ôθ»åϕϕ^)=∫(rcos2θ)dr-(r2³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)»åθ+3r2²õ¾±²Ôθ»åÏ•=∫rcos2Ï€2dr-r2cosÏ€2sin3r2sinÏ€2»åθ3r2sinÏ€2»åÏ•=∫0dr-0»åθ+3r2»åÏ•

Simplify further as

localid="1654672150719" ∫v.dl=∫3r2»åÏ•=3r2Ï•=3r20=0

Along the path (ii), θ=π2,r=1, and ϕvaries from 0 tolocalid="1654667564073" π2.Hence the line integral becomes,

localid="1654672163671" ∫v.dl=∫((rcos2θ)r^-(r³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)θ^+3rÏ•^)(drr^+»åθθ^+r²õ¾±²Ôθ»åϕϕ^)=∫(rcos2θ)dr-(r2³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)»åθ+3r2²õ¾±²Ôθ»åÏ•=∫(1cos2Ï€2)dr-((12)cosÏ€2sinÏ€23r2sinÏ€2)»åθ+3r2sin(Ï€2)»åÏ•=∫3»åÏ•

Simplify further as,

∫v.dl=∫0Ï€23»åÏ•=3(Ï•)0Ï€2=3Ï€2

Along the path (iii), θvaries from π2to localid="1654668630697" tan112, localid="1654668661756" ϕ=π2 and localid="1654668647962" r=1sinθ, such that localid="1654668615795" dr=-11sin2θcosθdθHence the line integral becomes,

localid="1654672691611" ∫v.dl=∫((rcos2θ)r^-(r³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)θ^+3rÏ•^)(drr^+drr^+r»åθθ^r²õ¾±²Ôθ»åϕϕ^)=∫(rcos2θ)dr-(r2³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)»åθ+3r2²õ¾±²Ôθ»åÏ•=∫(1sinθcos2θ)(-1sinθcosθdθ)-(1sinθ2cosθsinθ)dθ+0

Simplify further as,

localid="1654670347504" ∫v.dl=-∫cos3θsin3θ+³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ»åθ=∫³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθcos2θ+sin2θsin2θ»åθ=∫π2tan-1122³¦´Ç²õθsin3θ»åθ...........(2)

Let localid="1654669903166" x=sinθ, then dx=cos2θ»åθ.Substitute x for localid="1654672592461" sinθand dx for cosθdθinto equation (2)

∫v.dl=-∫v.dl=12sin2θ=12x2

Substitute back for into above result as,

localid="1654672710295" ∫v.dl=12sin2θ

Evaluate the limit as,

localid="1654672130422" ∫v.dl=12sin2θx2tan-112=12sin2tan-112-12sin2π2=12(0.2)-12=2

Along the path (iv), θ=³Ù²¹²Ô-112,Ï•=Ï€2and r varies from localid="1654671277385" 5 to 0, Hence the line integral becomes,

localid="1654672112340" ∫v.dl=∫rcos2θr^-(r³¦´Ç²õθ²õ¾±²Ôθ)θ^+3rÏ•^)(drr^+r»åθθ^+r²õ¾±²Ôθ»åϕϕ^=∫rcos2tan-112dr=∫500.8rdr=0.8r2205

Simplify further as,

∫v.d=0.80-522=-2

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

∮v.dl=0+3π2+2+-2=3π2.........(3)

From equation (1) and (3), the left and right side gives same result. Hence strokes theorem is verified.
