Vector Calculus - 2 - Question 1

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Vector Calculus - 2 - Question 2

 then the value of  where C is the curve in the XY-plane, y = 2x2 from (0,0) to (1,2) is

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Option C is correct.

Parameterise the curve by x = t, y = 2t2 with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

Then r'(t) = (1, 4t).

The vector field is F(x,y) = 3xy i - y2 j. Substituting the parametrisation gives F(r(t)) = (6t3, -4t4).

The integrand is the dot product: F·r' = 6t3 - 16t5.

Compute the line integral: 01 (6t3 - 16t5) dt = [6·t4/4 - 16·t6/6]01.

Evaluating gives 6/4 - 16/6 = 3/2 - 8/3 = -7/6.

Therefore the value of the integral is -7/6, so option C is correct.

Vector Calculus - 2 - Question 16

 is the reciprocal system to the vectors   then the value of 

Detailed Solution: Question 16

The given problem involves the reciprocal system of vectors a', b', and c', which are the reciprocal vectors to a, b, and c. We need to evaluate the expression:

a × a' + b × b' + c × c'

Step 1: Understanding the Reciprocal Vectors
The reciprocal vectors a', b', and c' satisfy the following relationships with the vectors a, b, and c:

a' · a = 1, a' · b = 0, a' · c = 0
b' · a = 0, b' · b = 1, b' · c = 0
c' · a = 0, c' · b = 0, c' · c = 1
These relationships mean that a', b', and c' are orthogonal to the original vectors a, b, and c, and they satisfy the orthonormal conditions.

Step 2: Cross Products Involving Reciprocal Vectors
The expression involves cross products, and we can use the properties of the reciprocal system to analyze them:

a × a' = 0, because a and a' are parallel by definition.
Similarly, b × b' = 0 and c × c' = 0.
Thus, all three cross products in the expression are zero:

a × a' + b × b' + c × c' = 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

Final Answer:
The value of the expression is 0.

Detailed Solution: Question 19

If P (x,y,z) is a variable point in a three- dimensional space, O the origin, i, j and k the unit vectors along the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively, then the vector OP given by x i + y j +z k is called the position vector of the point P and is denoted by r.

Divergence of any vector f = f1i+ f2j +f3k denoted by div f is defined as the scalar ( delta f1)/(delta x) + (delta f2)/(delta y) + (delta f3)/(delta z)

where the delta s denote partial derivatives.

Using this definition we find that div r = delta (x)/ delta x +delta (y)/delta y + delta (z)/ delta z = 1 + 1 +1 = 3.

Hence, divergence of a position vector = div r = 3.
