- Homework Statement
- Show that the curve C given by
r=(a*cost*sint)i+(a*sin^2(t))j+(a*cos(t))k
, (0≤t≤pi/2)
lies on a sphere centred at the origin.
Find ∫zds of C
- Relevant Equations
- ∫ds=∫F(r(t))·r'(t)dt
∫zds=∫acos(t)*( (acos(2t))^2+(2asin(t))^2+(-asin(t))^2 )^1/2 dt , (0≤t≤pi/2)
Simplified :
∫a^2cos(t)*(cos^2(2t)+5sin^2(t) )^1/2 dt , (0≤t≤pi/2)
However here i get stuck and i can´t find a way to rewrite it better or to integrate as it is.
Can i please get some help in this?
