F · dr.

C (Check the orientation of the curve before applying the theorem.) F(x, y) =

y cos x − xy sin x, xy + x cos x

, C is the triangle from (0, 0) to (0, 10) to (2, 0) to (0, 0)

Solution

To evaluate CFdr\oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} using Green's Theorem, we need to apply the theorem, which states:

CFdr=D(QxPy)dA\oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \iint_D \left( \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} \right) \, dA

where F(x,y)=(P(x,y),Q(x,y))\mathbf{F}(x, y) = (P(x, y), Q(x, y)) and DD is the region enclosed by CC. In our case:

P(x,y)=ycosxxysinxP(x, y) = y \cos x - xy \sin x Q(x,y)=xy+xcosxQ(x, y) = xy + x \cos x

Step 1: Calculate Qx\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} and Py\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}

  1. Calculate Qx\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}:

    Qx=x(xy+xcosx)=y+cosxxsinx\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (xy + x \cos x) = y + \cos x - x \sin x

  2. Calculate Py\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}:

    Py=y(ycosxxysinx)=cosxxsinx\frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (y \cos x - xy \sin x) = \cos x - x \sin x

Step 2: Substitute into the Green's Theorem formula

Now we substitute into the Green's Theorem formula:

CFdr=D(QxPy)dA\oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \iint_D \left( \frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} \right) \, dA

Substituting QxPy\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y}:

QxPy=(y+cosxxsinx)(cosxxsinx)=y\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y} = \left( y + \cos x - x \sin x \right) - \left( \cos x - x \sin x \right) = y

So we get:

CFdr=DydA\oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \iint_D y \, dA

Step 3: Set up the double integral over the triangular region

The region DD is the triangle with vertices at (0,0)(0, 0), (0,10)(0, 10), and (2,0)(2, 0). To set up the double integral, we can integrate yy with respect to xx and yy over this region.

In this triangle, xx ranges from 0 to 2, and for a fixed xx, yy ranges from 0 to 105x10 - 5x (the equation of the line from (0,10)(0, 10) to (2,0)(2, 0)).

DydA=020105xydydx\iint_D y \, dA = \int_0^2 \int_0^{10 - 5x} y \, dy \, dx

Step 4: Evaluate the integral

  1. Integrate with respect to yy:

    020105xydydx=02[y22]0105xdx\int_0^2 \int_0^{10 - 5x} y \, dy \, dx = \int_0^2 \left[ \frac{y^2}{2} \right]_0^{10 - 5x} \, dx

    =02(105x)22dx= \int_0^2 \frac{(10 - 5x)^2}{2} \, dx

  2. Simplify and integrate with respect to xx:

    Expanding (105x)2(10 - 5x)^2:

    =02100100x+25x22dx= \int_0^2 \frac{100 - 100x + 25x^2}{2} \, dx

    =02(5050x+25x22)dx= \int_0^2 \left( 50 - 50x + \frac{25x^2}{2} \right) \, dx

  3. Now integrate each term:

    =[50x25x2+25x36]02= \left[ 50x - 25x^2 + \frac{25x^3}{6} \right]_0^2

    Substituting x=2x = 2:

    =50(2)25(2)2+25(2)36= 50(2) - 25(2)^2 + \frac{25(2)^3}{6}

    =100100+2006=2006=1003= 100 - 100 + \frac{200}{6} = \frac{200}{6} = \frac{100}{3}

Final Answer:

CFdr=1003\oint_C \mathbf{F} \cdot d\mathbf{r} = \frac{100}{3}
