You appear to be on a device with a "narrow" screen width (i.e. you are probably on a mobile phone). Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best viewed in landscape mode. If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (you should be able to scroll/swipe to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.
Assignment Problems Notice
Please do not email me to get solutions and/or answers to these problems. I will not give them out under any circumstances nor will I respond to any requests to do so. The intent of these problems is for instructors to use them for assignments and having solutions/answers easily available defeats that purpose.

If you are looking for some problems with solutions you can find some by clicking on the "Practice Problems" link above.

Section 17.4 : Surface Integrals of Vector Fields

  1. Evaluate SFdS where F=(zy)i+xj+4yk and S is the portion of x+y+z=2 that is in the 1st octant oriented in the positive z-axis direction.
  2. Evaluate SFdS where F=(x4)i+zjyk and S is the portion of x=4y2z2 that lies in front of x=2 oriented in the negative x-axis direction.
  3. Evaluate SFdS where F=i+4zj+(zy)k and S is the portion of y=4z+x3+6 that lies over the region in the xz-plane with bounded by z=x3, x=1 and the x-axis oriented in the positive y-axis direction.
  4. Evaluate SFdS where F=(x+y)i+xj+zx2k and S is the portion of x2+y2=36 between z=3 and z=1 oriented outward (i.e. away from the z-axis).
  5. Evaluate SFdS where F=zi+3k and S is the portion of x2+y2+z2=4 with z0 oriented outwards (i.e. away from the origin).
  6. Evaluate SFdS where F=xi+(4+y)jzk and S is the portion of x2+z2=9 between y=2 and y=10x oriented inward (i.e. towards from the y-axis).
  7. Evaluate SFdS where F=yi+2j+(z+3)2k and S is the surface of the solid bounded by z=2x2+2y23 and z=1 with the negative orientation. Note that both surfaces of this solid are included in S.
  8. Evaluate SFdS where F=(xy)i+zj+yk and S is the surface of the solid bounded by y2+z2=4, x=y3, and x=6z with the positive orientation. Note that all three surfaces of this solid are included in S.
  9. Evaluate SFdS where F=yi2k and S is the portion of the sphere of radius 1 with z0 and x0 with the positive orientation. Note that all three surfaces of this solid are included in S.
