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.
 
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 ?
