Question
The value of the line integral , where is a circle of radius units is ________Here, and is the UNIT tangent vector on the curve at an arc length from a reference point on the curve. and are the basis vectors in the Cartesian reference. In evaluating the line integral, the curve has to be traversed in the counter-clockwise direction.
Correct answer
15.9 to 16.1
Solution
The line integral is given by . Since is the unit tangent vector, . Thus, the integral becomes:Using Green's Theorem, which states that , where is the region enclosed by :
Here, and .Substituting these into the integral:This integral represents the area of the region , which is a circle of radius .Therefore, the value of the line integral is 16.
Here, and .Substituting these into the integral:This integral represents the area of the region , which is a circle of radius .Therefore, the value of the line integral is 16.
