Question: Let (mathcal{S}) be the surface parametrized by [ Phi(u, v)=left(2 u sin frac{v}{2}, 2 u cos frac{v}{2}, 3 vight) ] for (0 leq u leq

Let \(\mathcal{S}\) be the surface parametrized by
\[
\Phi(u, v)=\left(2 u \sin \frac{v}{2}, 2 u \cos \frac{v}{2}, 3 vight)
\]
for \(0 \leq u \leq 1\) and \(0 \leq v \leq 2 \pi\)
(a) Calculate the tangent vectors \(\mathbf{T}_{u}\) and \(\mathbf{T}_{v}\) and the normal vector \(\mathbf{N}(u, v)\) at \(P=\Phi\left(1, \frac{\pi}{3}ight)\).
(b) Find the equation of the tangent plane at \(P\).
(c) Compute the surface area of \(\mathcal{S}\).
