    Integrate Spiral on YZ Plane | Location X | Need Help with Problem

    Line integrals of three space You can find it by parameterizing the curve. Spirals are pretty easy to parameterize and would be similar to: x=cos(t) y=sin(t) z=t. Then you can take the integral from start to finish of f(x(t),y(t))|ds|dt. You can find this by looking in the index of any...
