EXAMPLE 2 Use Stokes' Theorem to compute the integral curl FdS, where F(x,y,z)=zyzjxyk and S is the sphere x2y2z2=49 that lies inside the cylinder x2y2=36 and above the xy-plane. (See the figure.)
SOLUTION To find the boundary curve C we solve the equations x2y2z2=49 and x2y2=36. Subtracting, we get z2=13 and so z=132. A vector equation of C is
r(t)=6cos(t)i6sin(t)j,k;0t2
r'(t)=-6sin(t)i6cos(t)j,
Also, we have
F(r(t))=
i6132sin(t)j36cos(t)sin(t)k
Therefore, by Stokes' Theorem,
curlF*dS=F*dr=02F(r(t))*r'(t)dt
=02(?26132sin(t)cos(t)dt)
=3613202,dt=0
