Homework Statement
Let S be the surface defined by y=10 -x^2 -z^2 with y≥1, oriented with rightward-pointing normal. Let F=(2xyz+5z)i+ e^x Cos(yz) j +x^2 y k
Determine ∫∫s ∇×F dS (Hint: you will need an indirect approach)
Homework Equations
Stokes Theorem ∫∫s ∇×F dS
The Attempt at a Solution
If I am correct, there is a rightward-pointing normal given by N=(2xi,1j,2zk) ( but I am not quite shure why, does it matter that the normal is rightward-pointing?) . And We have a radius of 3.
I find the ∇×F by cross derivation an get:
∇×F =(x^2 +e^x ysin(yz))i, 5j, (e^x Cos(yz)-2xz) k
I then multiply them together with the Stokes theorem
∫∫s ∇×F dS =∫∫(x^2 +e^x ysin(yz))i, 5j, (e^x Cos(yz)-2xz ) k [itex]\ast[/itex] (2xi,1j,2zk) dxdy
=∫∫(2x^3 +2xy e^x Sin(yz))i, 5j,(2z e^x Cos (yz) -4xz^2)k dxdy
This is the point where I am not shure what to do. According to an example in my textbook that is simulair,they pick out the "easiest" one of i,j,k. At this example it will be j, that is 5. This is also what they do at the solution manual (that is kind of lacking of information). And the answer only says :∫∫5dxdy =45π. They don't explain why we can pick out one to find the surface integral, has it to do with symmetry of some kind? what is the boarders (why it gets 45π)?
