calculate
<br /> \iint_{M}^{}\vec{F}\vec{dS}<br />
where
<br /> \vec{F}=(e^y,ye^x,x^2y)<br />
M is a part of hyperboloid x^2+y^2
which is located at 0<=x<=1 and 0<=y<=1 ,and its normal vector points outside
like this :

i am used to solve it like this
<br /> \iint_{M}^{}\vec{F}\vec{dS}=\iint_{D}\frac{\vec{F}\cdot<br /> \vec{N}}{|\vec{N}\cdot\vec{K}|}dxdy<br />
<br /> \vec{N}=(2x,2y,-1)<br />
<br /> \iint_{M}^{}\vec{F}\vec{dS}=\iint_{D}\frac{(e^y,ye^x,x^2y) \cdot<br /> (2x,2y,-1)}{1}dxdy<br />
now i convert into polar coordinates

x^2+y^2=r
<br /> =\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{1}\frac{(e^y,ye^x,x^2y) \cdot (2x,2y,-1)}{1}rdrd\theta<br />
how to what are the intervals for r
i just guessed its from 0 to 1
i don't know how to know the upper interval here

except that
is this method ok?

x^2+y^2 is just a meaningless expression and does not describe a hyperboloid. Do you mean z^2=x^2+y^2?

x^2+y^2=r

You mean x^2+y^2=r^2, right?

Well, x^2+y^2=r^2 and x and y each go from 0 to 1, so wouldn't r go from \sqrt{0^2+0^2}=0 to \sqrt{1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{2}?

I am not sure about the square root of 2; Since at constant z you have a circle in a plane parallel to xy, x and y are related to r by the parametric equations

x = r cosφ y = r sinφ

When x = 1, y = 0. Am I missing something?

Nope, my mistake...just a small brainfart
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
