Homework Statement


As a part of bigger HW problem, I need to calculate the integral:
\oint[\hat{r}+\hat{z}]d\phi

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



In cylindrical coordinates:
=[\hat{r}+\hat{z}] \ointd\phi
=2∏[\hat{r}+\hat{z}]

On the other hand if I convert it to Cartesian coordinates:
\oint[cos\phi\hat{x}+sin\phi\hat{y}+ \hat{z}]d\phi
=2∏\hat{z}

So, what is it that I am doing wrong in the case with cylindrical coordinates? I'm sure I'm missing something very basic.
Thanks.

\hat{r} is a function of \phi\ .
 
Sorry, but could you please explain this a bit?
I can visualize that \hat{r} is a function of \phi(unit circle on x-y plane centered at origin) for cartesian coordinates, but I'm drawing a blank when it comes to cylindrical coordinates.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
