Homework Statement
Use Stoke's Theorem to calculate \int_C\vec{F}\cdot\, dr, where
\vec{F}=<x^2z\, ,xy^2\,,z^2> and C is the curve of the intersection of the plane x+y+z=1 and the cylinder
x^2+^2=9.
(C is oriented clockwise when viewed from above.)
Answer: \frac{81}{2}\pi.

Stoke's TheoremThe Attempt at a Solution
Okay, let me try to explain where I am getting lost. Firstly, I know that the premise of Stoke's Theorem is that is relates a line integral to a Surface integral.
When I graph this, I get a cylinder that is symmetrical about the z-axis and it is intersected by a plane which results in an ellipse. (see terrible drawing below)
Now, I need to parametrize (how do you spell that anyway?) S. Now S is the surface that is bounded by C right? If not, please stop me here.
