A parametric equation for a cone is:

x(, r) = r cos() 0 2
y(, r) = r sin() 0 r 2
z(, r) = r
Find a downward facing normal vector for an arbitary point on the cone. Is the
cone a smooth surface?
To compute the normal vector we take the parametric equations of the cone, as
given above and compute the normal. That is we compute
_

y

As usual we setup the cross product as a determinant.

= (r cos(), r sin(), r)
In order to be a smooth surface, the normal vector must be non-zero everywhere. In
this situations, the normal vector is zero when r = 0 so the cone is NOT a smooth
surface.
In order to verify that the normal vector is downward facing we simply have to check
that the z component of the normal vector is negative. As our normal vector does
not have a negative z component we must have taken the cross product in the wrong
order. A corrected version gives normal vector
(r cos(), r sin(), r)
which is downward facing.
Find the tangent plane at the point (1, 0, 1)
To nd the tangent plane we use the equations that we have been using all semester.
That is for a plane with normal vector n containing the point (a, b, c)
T(x, y, z) = n.(x a, x b, x c)
Here this formula gives us
r(z 1) s(x + 1) cos() ry sin()
Which is the equation for the tangent plane.
2. Here is a parametric equation for another surface.
x(, r) = cos() sin() 0 2
y(, r) = sin() sin() 0
z(, r) = sin()
3. Here is a parametric equation for another surface.
x(, r) = cos() sin() 0 2
y(, r) = sin() sin() 0
z(, r) = sin()
Is the surface smooth?
Our idea of smooth is that the normal vector is never zero on the surface. So we
compute the normal vector
n = det

Without too much work you can verify that this is always non-zero.

and the lateral surface given by x

= 9. Orient S without outward normals.
Determine the Surface Integral
__
S
ydS
(a) Is this a vector or a scalar surface integral?
The function F(x, y, z) = y is a scalar valued function, so we are computing a
scalar surface integral.
(b) Over what surface are we integrating? Can you write it with parametric equa-
tions?
We are integration over the cylinder. We can write it with parametric equa-
tions, we need three dierent equations in order to write it, one for the top of
the cylinder, one for the bottom, and one for the lateral surface.
We will use cylindrical coordinates for all of them.
Here is the top of the cylinder, it is just a disc of radius 3, located at a xed
z = 4
x(, r) = r cos() 0 2
y(, r) = r sin() 0 r 3
z(, r) = 4
Likewise the bottom of the cylinder will be a disc of radius 3 located at a xed
z = 0
x(, r) = r cos() 0 2
y(, r) = r sin() 0 r 3
z(, r) = 0
And the lateral surface will be given by
x(, z) = 3 cos() 0 2
y(, z) = 3 sin() 0 z 4
z(, z) = z
(c) Find a outward facing normal vector
We compute this the usual way, by taking a cross product of the partial deriva-
tives. Since there are three parametric equations, we need three normal vectors
Computing the normal for the bottom section which we will call N

(d) Compute the integral
Now it is easy to compute the surface integral. We rst compute the magnitude
of each of the vectors
N

N

5. The same questions for the surface integral over the same surface of the function.
__
S
(xi + yj)dS
(a) Is this a vector or a scalar surface integral?
This time we are computing a vector surface integral, since the integrand (xi +
yj) is a vector valued function
(b) Over what surface are we integrating? Can you write it with parametric equa-
tions?
Nothing has changed from the setup for the previous problem, so we compute
the outward facing normal vector the same way.

(r, ) =
x(, r) = r cos() 0 2
y(, r) = r sin() 0 r 3
z(, r) = 4
X
2
(r, )
x(, r) = r cos() 0 2
y(, r) = r sin() 0 r 3
z(, r) = 0
X

(r, )
x(, z) = 3 cos() 0 2
y(, z) = 3 sin() 0 z 4
z(, z) = z
(c) Find a outward facing normal vector
These will also match the normal vectors we found in the previous problem.
