Let S be the surface in R3 given by z2=x2+y2+1−λ, where 0⩽z⩽1 and λ is a positive constant. Sketch the surface S for representative values of λ and find the surface element dS with respect to the Cartesian coordinates x and y.
Compute ∇×F for the vector field
F(x)=⎝⎛−yxz⎠⎞
and verify Stokes' theorem for F on the surface S for every value of λ.
Now compute ∇×G for the vector field
G(x)=x2+y21⎝⎛−yx0⎠⎞
and find the line integral ∫∂SG⋅dx for the boundary ∂S of the surface S. Is it possible to obtain this result using Stokes' theorem? Justify your answer.
