Evaluating Surface Integral for Hyperboloid in Cylinder

[bugatti79]

Homework Statement

Evaluate the surface integral

Homework Equations

f(x,y,z)=y where sigma is part of the hyperboloid y=x^2+z^2 that lies inside cylinder x^2+z^2=4

The Attempt at a Solution

For \displaystyle S= \int \int_R \sqrt(z_x^2+z_y^2+1) dA

I calculate \displaystyle \sqrt(z_x^2+z_y^2+1)=\sqrt( \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{y-x^2}}+ \frac{1}{\sqrt{y-x^2}}+1)
I have tried simplifying this further but it still looks ugly...any suggestions on how to continue and evalute the surface integral?

Thanks

I assume you've projected on to the xz-plane, after all that would be the easier option.

It may be easier to stick with the explicit equation already given for y. So you attain the normal vector

n = \frac{(2x,-1,2z)}{\sqrt{4x^2 + 4z^2 + 1}}

Projecting on to the xz-plane we get;

|n.j| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x^2 + 4z^2 + 1}}

So

dS = \frac{dA_y}{|n.j|} = \sqrt{4x^2 + 4z^2 + 1} dA_y

After that it would be ideal to convert to polar co-ordinates. You also seem to have left the original y out of the surface integral.

I was intending to project onto xy plane becasue we can get z as a function of x and y... How would one know whether to project onto the standard xy or in your case the xz plane...

Can you explain this

OK, it makes sense to project onto the xz plane

I set up the integrand to be

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{2} r sin \theta \sqrt(4r^2+1) r dr d \theta...?

Almost

y = x^2 + z^2 = r^2

So you get \displaystyle \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{2} r^2 \times \sqrt(4r^2+1)dS

Where dS is the surface of this circle, which is given by r dr d \theta

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2 \pi} \int_{0}^{2} r^2 \times \sqrt(4r^2+1) \times rdrd \theta

You can use the substitution u = 4r^2 + 1

Wondered why this question seemed familiar, is it out of the James Stewart Calculus book?

Wolfram alpha seems to use u=r^2. Both give different answers.

My attempt for u=4^r2+1 is du=8rdr implies rdr =du/8 and r^2=(u-1)/4

The integrand becomes

\displaystyle \frac{1}{32} \int_0^2 u^{3/2} -u^{1/2} du...?

Did you change your limits?

Forgot that. Thanks
