Surface Integration Problem
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Let [itex]D=\{(x,y,z)| z^{2}=1+x^{2}+y^{2} , 1<z<3\}[/itex] Compute[itex]\int\int_{D}zdS[/itex] 2. Relevant equations From lectures I know; [itex]\int\int_{D}\delta dS=\int\int_{D}\delta\sqrt{(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x})^{2}+(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y})^{2}+1}dxdy[/itex] 3. The attempt at a solution I'm not sure what I'm doing is correct my answer seems wrong; [itex]z^{2}=1+x^{2}+y^{2}[/itex] so [itex]z=\sqrt{1+x^{2}+y^{2}}[/itex] Taking partial derivatives of x and y and substituting into equation from 2 I get [itex]\int\int_{D}\sqrt{5x^{2}+5y^{2}+1}dxdy[/itex] making change of variables to cylindrical coordinates [itex]\int\int_{D}\sqrt{5r^{2}+1}r drdt[/itex] making substitution [itex]u=5r^{2}+1[/itex] I get [itex]\int\int_{D}\sqrt{u} dudt[/itex] I brought the limits through as well to have limits for u of 0 and 41 and limits of t of 0 and 2[itex]\pi[/itex] giving me a final answer of 1099.675108 which seems completely wrong; Any suggestions? |

I got 2 instead of 5. Really, [itex]\frac {\partial z}{\partial x} = \frac{x}{z}[/itex] and [itex]\frac {\partial z}{\partial y} = \frac{y}{z}[/itex]
[itex]z \sqrt{1+\frac{x^2}{z^2} + \frac{y^2}{z^2}} = z \sqrt{ \frac{z^2 + x^2 + y^2}{z^2} } = \sqrt{1+2x^2+2y^2}[/itex] I then got 73.39 which is a lot more likely. |
