I am asked to evaluate the following integral:
$$intint text{curl} vec{F} cdot dvec{S}$$
where $F = (y,-x,zx^3y^2)$ and $S$ is the surface given by $x^2 + y^2 + 3z^2 = 1$ with $z leq 0$.



I did not have any problem with any other exercises of this kind. But this one is hard.



Any hint would be appreciated.

  • What exactly are you having difficulties with? Have you found the boundary of the surface?

  • I am having difficulties with all the exercie. I dont know how to parametrize that boundary. Do you have any idea?

  • The surface is the lower half of the ellipsoid, lying below the plane $z = 0$. The boundary lies in that plane. Substitute $z = 0$ into the equation of the ellipsoid.

  • So I just parametrize $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ and then calculate $F$ over that parametrization?

    Correct, then you integrate $mathbf F cdot dmathbf s$.
