Question: Calculate the circulation, C vec ( F ) * d v e c ( r ) , in two ways, directly and using Stokes' Theorem.

Calculate the circulation, Cvec(F)*dvec(r), in two ways, directly and using Stokes' Theorem. The vector field vec(F)=(4x-6y+3z)(vec(i)+vec(j)) and C is the triangle with vertices (0,0,0),(7,0,0),(7,4,0), traversed in that order.
Calculating directly, we break C into three paths. For each, give a parameterization vec(r)(t) that traverses the path from start to end for 0t1.
On C1 from (0,0,0) to (7,0,0),vec(r)(t)=
On C2 from (7,0,0) to (7,4,0),vec(r)(t)=q,
On C3 from (7,4,0) to (0,0,0),vec(r)(t)=q,
So that, integrating, we have C1vec(F)*dvec(r)=
C2vec(F)*dvec(r)=
C3vec(F)*dvec(r)=
and soCvec(F)*dvec(r)=
Using Stokes' Theorem, we have
curlvec(F)=
So that the surface integral on S, the triangular region on the plane enclosed by the indicated triangle, is
Scurlvec(F)*dvec(A)=abcddydx
where a=b= and d=
Integrating, we get Cvec(F)*dvec(r)=Scurlvec(F)*dvec(A)=
Calculate the circulation, C vec ( F ) * d v e c
