Homework Statement


I have got double contour integral:
1442jcycd8bb2e4ywox.png

And here is picture:

I know every line equation as well.
The task is to calculate this integral as:
1. surface integral of outside of the area (in the picture)
2. using Ostrogradsky formula

Homework Equations



Equation of plane: 4x+3y+12z-12=0
It means that x=3-0.75y-3z and z=1-0.25y-(1/3)x

The Attempt at a Solution



I guess, this can be integral for task 1, when we use surface integral:

Can someone chek, if it's correct? And how to start task 2, when I have to use Ostrogradsky formula?

What are we going to do with this evol? I have some questions and observations:

(1) Isn't the (real) double contour integral above just a surface integral?

(2) If this is a surface integral, then the double integrals you're written are not correct. The integrals you wrote are just simple volume integrals. Also, the outer limits of the second integral are incorrect for a volume integral: the upper limit on y is 4 and not 1.

(3) Your statement above, "1. surface integral of outside of the area (in the picture)" is not clear at all. What area? Do you mean the surface integral over the triangular region intersecting the axis planes? Would be better to say something like, compute the surface integral:

[tex]\mathop\iint\limits_{\text{Red}} x dS[/tex]

Where "red" is the surface in the plot below. What would that surface integral be?

I guess, it's just surfice integral.
It means that this is the correct solution:

?

And what about Ostrogradsky formula?

I don't think so. Remember the formula for a surface integral over the surface z=f(x,y)? It's

[tex]\mathop\iint\limits_S g(x,y,z)dS=\mathop\iint\limits_R g(x,y,f(x,y)) \sqrt{f_x^2+f_y^2+1}dA[/tex]

Hmm.. I tried to use this example:

Why in that case my solution is wrong?

Hi evol,

I don't wish to steer you wrong. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do here. Those integrals above are just volume integrals and not what I believe are surface integrals. Maybe though I'm not understanding this problem.

I will try to find out, what exactly I have to calculate.
 

FAQ: How to Solve a Double Contour Integral Using Ostrogradsky Formula?

What is a double contour integral?

A double contour integral is a mathematical concept that involves calculating the area between two curves in two dimensions. It is represented by the symbol ∬ and is used to solve problems involving volume, surface area, and mass in calculus and physics.

How is a double contour integral different from a single contour integral?

A single contour integral involves calculating the area under a curve in one dimension, while a double contour integral involves calculating the area between two curves in two dimensions. This means that the integrand (the function being integrated) in a double contour integral is a two-dimensional function, while in a single contour integral, it is a one-dimensional function.

What are the applications of double contour integrals?

Double contour integrals have various applications in physics and engineering, particularly in calculating the volume of three-dimensional objects, finding the center of mass of an object, and determining the flux of a vector field through a surface. They are also used in solving differential equations and in the study of electromagnetism and fluid mechanics.

How do you solve a double contour integral?

To solve a double contour integral, you first need to set up the limits of integration by determining the curves that form the boundaries of the region of integration. Then, you integrate the two-dimensional function with respect to both variables, following the rules of integration. If the limits of integration are not given, you may need to use techniques such as substitution or integration by parts to evaluate the integral.

Are there any common mistakes to avoid when solving a double contour integral?

Some common mistakes to avoid when solving a double contour integral include mixing up the order of integration, not properly setting up the limits of integration, and not following the correct rules of integration. It is also important to check for symmetry in the integrand, as this can simplify the integral. Additionally, it is important to be careful with units and to double-check the final answer for accuracy.
