The line integral

, The ellipse is a graph (using z = x) over the unit circle in

the xy-plane. Thus we can parameterize it as r(t) = (cos(t); sin(t); cos(t)) for 0

t 2 . Since F = (x, z, 2y), we get

F(r(t)) = (cos(t), cos(t), 2 sin(t))
dr = ( - sin(t), cos(t), - sin(t)) dt
and so
F(r(t))

dr = sin(t) cos(t) + cos2(t) - 2 sin2(t)dt

The flux integral

Again the elliptical disk is a graph (using z = x) over

the unit disk in the xy-plane. Thus we can parameterize it as r(x, y) = (x, y, x) for x 2

Since F = (x, z, 2y), we get curl F = (1, 0, 0) and r x X ry = (-1, 0, 1). Thus

SOLUTION:
The point of this problem is to find use Stokes' theorem to avoid computing the flux
integral over S (whatever confusing surface that could be) and instead compute the
line integral over the unit circle C in the xy-plane. We use the parameterization r(t)
= (cos(t), sin(t), 0), so
F(r(t)) = (cos(t), sin(t) + 1, 0)
dr = h sin(t), cos(t), 0) dt
F(r(t)) dr = cos(t) dt.
Thus

COPIED BY: NOVILLA, ASHNER GERALD P.
SOLUTION:
The differential equation of the LR circuit is
2i^' (t)+4i(t)=5e^(-t)
With initial condition i(0)=0. Take the Laplace transform on both side of the
differential equation to get
2sI(s)+4I(s)=5/(s+1)
Solving for I(s) gives
I(s)=5/((2s+4)(s+1))
Using partial fractions, we obtain

I(s)=5/(2(s+1))-5/(2(s+2))
Taking the inverse Laplace transform gives the answer
i(t)=5/2 e^(-t)-5/2 e^(-2t)

Answer:
The current is i(t)=5/2 e^(-t)-5/2 e^(-2t)

a) The temperature at point A is 10 C, the temperature at point B is 20 C,

and point A is 100 km from point B. What is the temperature gradient?
dT = 20 C - 10 C = 10 C, dx = 100 km; dT/dx = 10 C / 100 km = 0.1 C/km
b) The pressure at point A is 1020 mb, the pressure at point B is 995 mb,
and point A is 400 km from point B. What is the pressure gradient?
dP = 1020 mb - 995 mb = 25 mb, dx= 400 km, dP/dx = 25 mb / 400 km =
0.0625 mb/km, or 6.25 mb per 100 km
