(d)
If a drop of water is placed on the surface at x = y = 1 and
always rolls down the steepest path, sketch the path of the water droplet
with a dotted line on your contour diagram.
3.
For the vector field
(a)
Find the equation of the surface in 3-space where the vector
field has a constant magnitude of 1.
(b)
Describe the shape of the curves made where this surface touches
the xy plane, the xz plane, and the yz plane.
4.
The curve shown below has a tangent vector
at the point P = (1, -1, 3). The vector field occupies the same space as the curve.
At point P, decompose the vector as the sum of two vectors,
one parallel to and one perpendicular to .
5.
A geometrical solid is made from a top and bottom (both hexagonal)
and six side faces which are all squares. The diagram shows the object,
along with a normal vector to each face. Opposite faces are parallel, and
each face meets both the top and bottom at right angles.
(a)
Express the vectors in terms of
the vectors .
(b)
Express as a function of the vectors . You may not need all six of the other vectors to do this.
