How to Solve a Double Contour Integral Using Ostrogradsky Formula?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a double contour integral using the Ostrogradsky formula and surface integrals. The equation of the plane is given as 4x + 3y + 12z - 12 = 0, which translates to x = 3 - 0.75y - 3z and z = 1 - 0.25y - (1/3)x. Participants clarify that the provided integrals are misclassified as surface integrals when they are actually volume integrals, and emphasize the need for precise definitions of the areas involved in the calculations. The correct approach involves using the surface integral formula and understanding the geometric context of the problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double contour integrals
  • Familiarity with the Ostrogradsky formula
  • Knowledge of surface integrals and volume integrals
  • Ability to interpret equations of planes in three-dimensional space
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of the Ostrogradsky formula in solving surface integrals
  • Learn how to correctly set up and evaluate surface integrals over specified regions
  • Review the differences between surface integrals and volume integrals
  • Explore examples of calculating integrals over triangular regions in three-dimensional space
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in mathematics, particularly those studying calculus, vector calculus, or engineering, who are looking to deepen their understanding of integrals and their applications in three-dimensional geometry.

Homework Statement


I have got double contour integral:
1442jcycd8bb2e4ywox.png

And here is picture:
3iwzoavwi0tedo6lq6my.png


I know every line equation as well.
The task is to calculate this integral as:
1. surface integral of outside of the area (in the picture)
2. using Ostrogradsky formula

Homework Equations



Equation of plane: 4x+3y+12z-12=0
It means that x=3-0.75y-3z and z=1-0.25y-(1/3)x

The Attempt at a Solution



I guess, this can be integral for task 1, when we use surface integral:

Can someone chek, if it's correct? And how to start task 2, when I have to use Ostrogradsky formula?

What are we going to do with this evol? I have some questions and observations:

(1) Isn't the (real) double contour integral above just a surface integral?

(2) If this is a surface integral, then the double integrals you're written are not correct. The integrals you wrote are just simple volume integrals. Also, the outer limits of the second integral are incorrect for a volume integral: the upper limit on y is 4 and not 1.

(3) Your statement above, "1. surface integral of outside of the area (in the picture)" is not clear at all. What area? Do you mean the surface integral over the triangular region intersecting the axis planes? Would be better to say something like, compute the surface integral:

\mathop\iint\limits_{\text{Red}} x dS

Where "red" is the surface in the plot below. What would that surface integral be?

I guess, it's just surfice integral.
It means that this is the correct solution:

?

And what about Ostrogradsky formula?

I don't think so. Remember the formula for a surface integral over the surface z=f(x,y)? It's

\mathop\iint\limits_S g(x,y,z)dS=\mathop\iint\limits_R g(x,y,f(x,y)) \sqrt{f_x^2+f_y^2+1}dA
 
Hmm.. I tried to use this example:

Why in that case my solution is wrong?

Hi evol,

I don't wish to steer you wrong. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do here. Those integrals above are just volume integrals and not what I believe are surface integrals. Maybe though I'm not understanding this problem.

I will try to find out, what exactly I have to calculate.
