CHAPTER 1

1.1. Given he vec ors𝔱 𝔱 M = − 10 a x + 4 a y − 8 a z and N = 8 a x + 7 a y − 2 a z, find: a) a uni vec or in he direc ion of𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 − M + 2 N.

− M + 2 N = 10 a x − 4 a y + 8 a z + 16 a x + 14 a y − 4 a z = ( 26 , 10 , 4 )

Thus

a = ( 26 , 10 , 4 ) | ( 26 , 10 , 4 )| = ( 0. 92 ,

b) he magni ude of 5𝔱 𝔱 a x + N − 3 M :

( 5 , 0 , 0 ) + ( 8 , 7 , − 2 ) − (− 30 , 12 , − 24 ) = ( 43 , − 5 , 22 ), and | ( 43 , − 5 , 22 )| = 48. 6.

c) | M || 2 N | ( M + N ):

1.2. Given hree poin s,𝔱 𝔱 A( 4 , 3 , 2 ), B(− 2 , 0 , 5 ), and C( 7 , − 2 , 1 ):

a) Specify he vec or𝔱 𝔱 A ex ending from he origin o he poin𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 A.

A = ( 4 , 3 , 2 ) = 4 a x + 3 a y + 2 a z

b) Give a uni vec or ex ending from he origin o he midpoin of line𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 AB.

The vec or from he origin o he midpoin is given by𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱

M = ( 1 / 2 )( A + B ) = ( 1 / 2 )( 4 − 2 , 3 + 0 , 2 + 5 ) = ( 1 , 1. 5 ,

3. 5 ) The uni vec or will be𝔱 𝔱

m = ( 1 , 1. 5 , 3. 5 ) | ( 1 , 1. 5 , 3. 5 )| = ( 0. 25 , 0. 38 , 0. 89 )

c) Calcula e he leng h of he perime er of riangle𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 ABC:

Begin wi h𝔱 AB = (− 6 , − 3 , 3 ), BC = ( 9 , − 2 , − 4 ), CA = ( 3 , − 5 ,

Then

| AB | + | BC | + | CA | = 7. 35 + 10. 05 + 5. 91 = 23. 32

1.3. The vec or from he origin o he poin𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 A is given as ( 6 , − 2 , − 4 ), and he uni vec or direc ed from he𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱

origin 𝔱oward poin 𝔱 B is ( 2 , − 2 , 1 )/3. If poin s𝔱 A and B are 𝔱en uni s apar , find 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱he coordina es of 𝔱

poin𝔱 B.

Wi h𝔱 A = ( 6 , − 2 , − 4 ) and B =1 3 B( 2 , − 2 , 1 ), we use he fac𝔱 𝔱 𝔱ha 𝔱 | B − A | = 10, or

| ( 6 −2 3 B) a x − ( 2 −2 3 B) a y − ( 4 + 1 3 B) a z| = 10

Expanding, ob ain𝔱

36 − 8 B +4 9 B 2 + 4 −8 3 B + 4 9 B 2 + 16 + 8 √ 3 B + 1 9 B 2 = 100

or B 2 − 8 B − 44 = 0. Thus B = 8 ± 64 − 176

2 = 11 .75 ( aking posi ive op ion) and so𝔱 𝔱 𝔱

B =2 3( 11. 75 ) a x −2 3( 11. 75 ) a y + 1 3( 11. 75 ) a z = 7. 83 a x − 7. 83 a y + 3. 92 a z

1.4. given poin s𝔱 A( 8 , − 5 , 4 ) and B(− 2 , 3 , 2 ),

find:

a) he dis ance from𝔱 𝔱 A 𝔱o B.

| B − A | = | (− 10 , 8 , − 2 )| = 12. 96

b) a uni vec or direc ed from𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 A 𝔱owards B. This is found hrough𝔱

a AB = B − A | B − A | = (− 0. 77 , 0. 62 , − 0. 15 )

c) a uni vec or direc ed from he origin o he midpoin of he line𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 AB.

d) he equa ion of he surface on which𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 | G | = 60: We wri e 60𝔱 = | ( 24 xy, 12 (x 2 + 2 ), 18 z 2 )|, or 10

= | ( 4 xy, 2 x 2 + 4 , 3 z 2 )|, so he equa ion is𝔱 𝔱

100 = 16 x 2 y 2 + 4 x 4 + 16 x 2 + 16 + 9 z 4

1.6. For he𝔱 G field in Problem 1.5, make ske ches of𝔱 G x, G y, G z and | G | along he line𝔱 y = 1, z = 1, for

0 ≤ x ≤2. We find G (x, 1 , 1 ) = ( 24 x, 12 x 2 + 24 , 18 ), from which G x = 24 x, G y = 12 x 2 + 24,√

G z = 18, and | G | = 6 4 x 4 + 32 x 2 + 25. Plo s are shown below.𝔱

1.7. Given he vec or field𝔱 𝔱 E = 4 zy 2 cos 2 x a x + 2 zy sin 2 x a y + y 2 sin 2 x a z for he region𝔱 | x|, | y|, and | z|

less 𝔱han 2, find:

a) he surfaces on which𝔱 E y = 0. Wi h𝔱 E y = 2 zy sin 2 x = 0, he surfaces are 1) he plane𝔱 𝔱 z = 0 ,

wi h𝔱 | x| < 2, | y| < 2; 2) he plane𝔱 y = 0, wi h𝔱 | x| < 2, | z| < 2; 3) he plane𝔱 x = 0 , wi h𝔱 | y| <

2, | z| < 2;

4) he plane𝔱 x = π/2, wi h𝔱 | y| < 2, | z| < 2.

b) he region in which𝔱 Ey = Ez: This occurs when 2 zy sin 2 x = y 2 sin 2 x, or on he plane 2𝔱 z = y,

wi h𝔱 | x| < 2, | y| < 2, | z| < 1.

c) he region in which𝔱 E = 0: We would have Ex = Ey = Ez = 0, or zy 2 cos 2 x = zy sin 2 x =

y 2 sin 2 x = 0. This condi ion is me on he plane𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 y = 0, wi h𝔱 | x| < 2, | z| < 2.

1.8. Two vec or fields are𝔱 F = − 10 a x + 20 x(y − 1 ) a y and G = 2 x 2 y a x − 4 a y + z a z. For he poin𝔱 𝔱 P( 2 , 3 ,

− 4 ), find:

a) | F |: F a𝔱 ( 2 , 3 , − 4 ) = (− 10 , 80 , 0 ), so | F | = 80 .6.

b) | G |: G a𝔱 ( 2 , 3 , − 4 ) = ( 24 , − 4 , − 4 ), so | G | = 24 .7.

c) a uni vec or in he direc ion of𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 F − G : F − G = (− 10 , 80 , 0 ) − ( 24 , − 4 , − 4 ) = (− 34 , 84 , 4 ).

So

a = F − G | F − G | = (− 34 , 84 , 4 )

1.9. A field is given as G =

(x 2 + y 2 )(x a x +

Find:^ y a y^ )

a) a uni vec or in he direc ion of𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 G a𝔱 P( 3 , 4 , − 2 ): Have G p = 25 /( 9 + 16 ) × ( 3 , 4 , 0 ) = 3 a x +

4 a y,

and | G p| = 5. Thus a G = ( 0. 6 , 0. 8 , 0 ).

b) he angle be ween𝔱 𝔱 G and a x a𝔱 P: The angle is

found hrough𝔱 a G · a x = cos θ. ( 0. 6 , 0. 8 , 0 ) · ( 1 ,

1.10. Use he defini ion of he do produc𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱o find he in erior angles a 𝔱 𝔱 𝔱 A and B of he riangle defined by he𝔱 𝔱 𝔱

1.19 a) Express he field𝔱 D = (x 2 + y 2 )− 1 (x a x + y a y ) in cylindrical componen s and cylindrical variables:𝔱

Have x = ρ cos φ, y = ρ sin φ, and x 2 + y 2 = ρ 2. Therefore

Then

Dρ = D · a ρ

D = 1 ρ (cos φ a x + sin

φ a y )

cos 2 φ + sin 2 φ = 1

cos φ( a x · a ρ) +

sin φ( a y · a ρ)

and

Dφ = D · a φ = 1 ρ cos^ φ( a x^ ·^ a φ)^ +^ sin^ φ( a y^ ·^ a φ)^ =^1 ρ[cos^ φ(−sin^ φ)^ +^ sin^ φ^ cos

φ] = 0

Therefore

D = 1 ρ a ρ

have A(4 cos 40◦ , 4 sin 40◦ , − 2 ) = A( 3. 06 , 2. 57 , − 2 ), and B(5 cos (− 110 ◦ ), 5 sin (− 110 ◦ ), 2 )
