Homework Statement


let F be vector field:
\[\vec F = \cos (xyz)\hat j + (\cos (xyz) - 2x)\hat k\]
let L be the the curve that intersects between the cylinder \[(x - 1)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 4<br /> \] and the plane y+z=3/2
calculate:
\[\left| {\int {\vec Fd\vec r} } \right|\]

Homework Equations


in order to solve this i thought of using the stokes theorem because the normal to the plane is \[\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}(0,1,1)\]
thus giving me
\oint{Fdr}=\int\int{curl(F)*n*ds}=\int\int{2/sqrt{2}*\sin(xyz)}


i tried to parametries x y and z x= rcos(t)+1 y=rsin(t)+2 z=1/2-rsin(t)

but it won't work

Would x = 1 + 2 cos(t), y = 2 + 2 sin(t) and z = -1/2 - 2 sin(t) do the trick?
 


i wonder if it is allowed given we have to do a multiple integral needing 2 variables
 


Why wouldn't you just use Green's?
 


using green or stokes is the same thing green is just a private solution of stokes and if you use it you are still stuck with that sin(xyz)
 


See what Halls answered you in the other thread.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
