Here are some other surfaces to work with.

- For the surface $\vec r(u,v) = (u\cos v,u\sin v,v)$ for $0\leq v\leq 6\pi$ and $2\leq u\leq 4$, set up an integral formula to compute the surface area (recall that $d\sigma = \left|\frac{\partial \vec r}{\partial u} \times \frac{\partial \vec r}{\partial v}\right|dudv$).
Solution
The partial derivatives are $$\frac{\partial \vec r}{\partial u} = (\cos v,\sin v,0),\quad \frac{\partial \vec r}{\partial v} = (-u\sin v,u\cos v,1), $$ A normal vector $\vec n$ is the cross product of these two, so $$\vec n = (\sin v, - \cos v,u\cos^2v+u\sin^2v) = (\sin v, -\cos v,u).$$ The surface area is hence $$\sigma =\iint_S d\sigma = \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{\sin^2v+\cos^2v+u^2}dvdu = \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu .$$
- For the surface above, set up an integral formula to compute $\bar x$, $\bar y$, or $\bar z$.
Solution
We already know the surface area is given by $$\sigma =\iint_S d\sigma = \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{\sin^2v+\cos^2v+u^2}dvdu = \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu .$$ This gives $$\ds \bar x = \frac{\iint_S x d\sigma}{\iint_S d\sigma} = \frac{ \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}(u\cos v)\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu }{ \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu }. $$ $$\ds \bar y = \frac{\iint_S y d\sigma}{\iint_S d\sigma} = \frac{ \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}(u\sin v)\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu }{ \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu }. $$ $$\ds \bar z = \frac{\iint_S z d\sigma}{\iint_S d\sigma} = \frac{ \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}(v)\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu }{ \int_{2}^{4}\int_{0}^{6\pi}\sqrt{1+u^2}dvdu }. $$
- Give an equation of the tangent plane to the surface above at $(u,v) = (3,\pi)$. The cross product of the partial derivatives of will get you a normal vector to the surface.
Solution
The partial derivatives $$\frac{\partial \vec r}{\partial u} = (\cos v,-\sin v,0),\quad \frac{\partial \vec r}{\partial v} = (-u\sin v,u\cos v,1) $$ are tangent to the surface. Their cross product will be a normal vector to the plane. The cross product of these two is $$\vec n(u,v) = (\sin v, - \cos v,u\cos^2v+u\sin^2v) = (\sin v, -\cos v,u).$$ We now use $(3,\pi)$ to find $(x,y,z) = \vec r(3,\pi) = (-3,0,\pi)$ and $\vec n(3,\pi) = (0,1,3)$. A plane with normal vector $(0,1,3)$ that passes through $(-3,0,\pi)$ has an equation $$0(x+3)+(1)(y-0)+3(z-\pi)=0.$$
- Recall for a two dimensional region that $\bar x = \dfrac{\iint_R xdA}{\iint_R dA}$. If you know that the area of a region is $A = 3$ and the centroid is $(5,7)$, compute $\iint_R 2xdA$.
Solution
Since $\bar x = \dfrac{\iint_R xdA}{\iint_R dA}$, we know that $\iint_R xdA = \bar x \iint_R dA = \bar x A$. In other words, we can replace $\iint_R xdA$ with $\bar x A$. We then compute $$\iint_R 2xdA = 2\iint_R xdA = 2\bar x A = 2(5)(3) = 30.$$
- A region $R$ has area $A = 3$ and centroid $(\bar x, \bar y) = (5,7)$. Compute the integral $\ds \iint_R (2-3y+4x) dA$.
Solution
Remember that $\iint_R dA = A$, as well as $\iint_R xdA = \bar x A$ and $\iint_R ydA = \bar y A$. We then compute $$\begin{align*} \iint_R (2-3y+4x) dA &=2\iint_R dA-3\iint_R y dA+4\iint_R x dA\\ &=2A - 3\bar y A + 4\bar x A \\ &=(2-3\bar y+4\bar x)A\\ &=(2-3(7)+4(5))(3)\\ &=3. \end{align*} $$
- A curve $C$ traverses around a region $R$ with $A = 3$ and the centroid is $(5,7)$. Compute the work done by $\vec F = (2x+3y,x^2+y^2)$ along $C$ (Recall Green's theorem: $\oint Mdx+Ndy = \iint_R N_x-M_y dA$).
Solution
Green's theorem will apply here, because we have a simple closed curve. This gives $$\iint_R N_x-M_y dA =\iint_R 2x-3 dA =2\iint_R xdA - \iint_R 3 dA = 2\bar xA - 3A = 2(5)(3)-3(3) = 21.$$
