Where Are the Points Satisfying All Conditions in This Vector Field?

[Drain Brain]

A vector field is specified as F= $2(x+y)\sin(\pi z)a_x-(x^2+y)a_y+\left(\frac{10}{(x^2+y^2)}\right)a_z$. Specify the locus of all points at which: a. $F_x=0$; b. $F_y=0$; c. |F|=1


Please kindly help me to get started with this problem! thanks!

Have you at least tried to work out the partial derivatives?

partial derivative of what? please bear with me.

partial derivative of what? please bear with me.

The question clearly says you need $\displaystyle \begin{align*} F_x \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} F_y \end{align*}$...

Because...

$\displaystyle F_{x} = 2\ (x+y)\ \sin (\pi\ z)\ a_{x} $

$\displaystyle F_{y} = - (x^{2} + y)\ a_{y}$

$\displaystyle F_{z} = \frac{10}{x^{2}+ y^{2}}\ a_{z}\ (1)$

... where $a_{x}$, $a_{y}$ and $a_{z}$ are the versors along the cartesian axes, the response to pints a. and b. is immediate...

... the response of the point c. starts from the relation...

$\displaystyle 4\ (x + y)^{2}\ \sin^{2} (\pi\ z) + (x^{2} + y)^{2} + \frac{100}{(x^{2}+y^{2})^{2}} = 1\ (2)$

Do I have to take the partial derivative of $F_{x}$ and $F_{y}$ to specify the locus of points?

I don't think so!... in my previous post explicit expressions for $F_{x}$ and $F_{y}$ have been given, so that the loci of points are obtained imposing $F_{x}=0$ and $F_{y}=0$... the last case is very easy because...

$\displaystyle F_{y} = 0 \implies x^{2} + y = 0 \implies y = - x^{2}\ (1)$

... and the locus is a parabola...

So for
$\displaystyle F_{x} = 0 \implies 2(x+y)\sin(\pi z)= 0 \implies y = - x ( plane)$

But how do I do that for $|F| =1$?

Is $F_{x} = 0$ not only fon the plane $y = - x$, but also for the planes $\sin (\pi z) = 0 \implies z= k \in \mathbb {Z}$...

Regarding $|F| = 1$ the locus is defined by the relation...

$\displaystyle F_{x}^{2} + F_{y}^{2} + F_{z}^{2} = 1 \implies 4\ (x+y)^{2}\ \sin^{2} (\pi z) + (x^{2} + y)^{2} + \frac{100}{(x^{2} + y^{2})^{2}} = 1$

The answer in my book says $x^2+y^2=10$ i have no idea how it arrived ti that answer. Please tell me how to go about it.

Of course under the conditions $F_{x}=0$ and $F_{y}=0$ is $|F|=1$ if and only if $x^{2} + y^{2} = 10$...
