    MA231 Vector Analysis

    Examples Sheet 0, Geometry and Motion Revision


    Mario J. Micallef Autumn, 2016.

    Difficulties you have with these questions should be discussed at supervisions and/or tutorials. This
    examples sheet is not for credit. Solutions to these questions should not be handed in for marking.

    1. Let Γ ⊂ R3 be the curve parameterised by


    r(t) := (et cos t, et sin t, t) t ∈ [0, 2π]
    and let f : R3 → R be the function f (x, y, z) := xez cos z + y 2 . Evaluate
    R
    Γf ds, where s denotes
    arclength.

    2. Let S be the sphere of radius 2 centred at the origin in R3 . Let C0 , C1 and C2 be the circles obtained by
    intersecting S with the planes {y + z = 0}, {y + z = 2} and {x − y + z = 3} respectively. Parameterise
    C0 , C1 and C2 .
    Note: S is a surface, not the solid sphere!

    3. Sketch the following vector fields in the plane:


    1
    (i) u(x, y) = (1, x), (ii) v(x, y) = (−x, y), (iii) w(x, y) = p (−x, y).
    x + y2
    2

    4. Calculate the circulation C v · dr for v(x, y, z) = (z, 1, y) and C is the loop x2 + y 2 = 1, z = x.


    H

    Hint: You need to start by parameterising C.

    5. Let S be the paraboloid which, by means of polar coordinates, can be parameterised as


    r(r, θ) = (r cos θ, r sin θ, r2 ), 0 6 r, θ ∈ [0, 2π).
    ZZ
    1
    Evaluate dA where dA denotes element of area; this notation is not universal, dS is also
    S (1 + 4z)2
    used.

    6. Let f : R → R be differentiable and define u : R2 → R by


    u(x, y) := e−x f (2x − y 4 ). Show that u satisfies
    ∂u ∂u
    2y 3 + + 2y 3 u = 0 .
    ∂x ∂y

    7. Let ϕ : R → R 2
    pbe twice differentiable and define u : R → R by
    u(x, y) := ϕ( x2 + y 2 ). Verify that
    ∂u x ∂u y
    (x, y) = ϕ0 (r), (x, y) = ϕ0 (r)
    ∂x r ∂y r
    ∂2u ∂2u 1 p
    and 2
    (x, y) + 2
    (x, y) = ϕ00 (r) + ϕ0 (r) where r = x2 + y 2 .
    ∂x ∂y r

    8. Let Ω be the three dimensional region defined by


    Ω := {(x, y, z) | z > 0, x2 + y 2 6 z 2 6 1 − x2 − y 2 }.
    Use spherical polar coordinates to evaluate
    ZZZ
    1
    dx dy dz .
    Ω (1 + z)2
