    Stoke's Theorem around a closed circle

    OK so I actually did it out and I get the right answer. But if anyone can explain how Stokes' theorem applies here, that would be much appreciated.

    Stoke's Theorem around a closed circle

    The circle is in the x-y plane, Sorry about that. Ok it makes sense that what I've written above is just the fundamental theorem of calculus, but shouldn't it still apply? i.e. the answer of 0 is still valid?

    Stoke's Theorem around a closed circle

    Homework Statement What is the line Integral of the function f = yi-xj+zk (where i,j,k, are cartesian unit vectors) around a circle with radius R centered at the origin? Homework Equations Stokes Theorem: i.e. the integreal of some function between a and b is equal to the difference in...

    Freq. of small oscillations in two pendulums

    Homework Statement Consider two pendulums, I and II. I consists of a bob of mass 2m at the end of a rod of length L. II consists of one bob of mass m at the end of a rod of length L and another bob of mass m halfway up the road, at L/2. What is the ratio of the frequency of small...

    GRE-level conceptual questions

    TO clarify, the normal mode problem did include three masses: each pendulum as well as the tube they are attached to, which itself can slide along a wire.

    GRE-level conceptual questions

    I'm studying for the GRE Physics, and I have a few conceptual questions that have arisen while I have been attempting practice problems, but which I do not understand even after reading the provided solutions. 1) I understand that in systems with normal mode oscillations consisting of, for...
