Line Integral 1
- Area of a Region R Bounded by the Curve C
- Path Independence of Line Integrals
The line integral of a vector function
is said to be path independent, if and only if P, Q and
R are continuous in a domain D, and if there exits some
scalar function u = u (x, y, z) (a scalar potential) in D
such that.
- Test for a Conservative Field
A vector field of the formis called a
conservative field. The line integral of a vector
function is path independent if
and only if
If the line is taken in xy-plane so that
Then the test for determining if a vector field is
conservative can be written in the form
- Length of a Curve
where C is a piecewise smooth curve described by
the position
vector, α ≤ t ≤ β.
If the curve C is two-dimensional, then
If the curve C is the graph of a function y = f(x)
in
the xy-plane (α ≤ x ≤ β), then
- Length of a Curve in Polar Coordinates
where the curve C is given by the equation r = r(θ),
α ≤ θ
≤ β in polar coordinates.
- Mass of a Wire
where ρ(x, y, z) is the mass per unit length of the wire.
If C is a curve parametrized by the vector function
If C is a curve in xy-plane, then the mass of the wire is
given by
- Center of Mass of a Wire
- Moments of Inertia
The moments of inertia about the x-axis, y-axis,
and z-axis are given by the formulas,
