    Problem 1.58
    Check Stokes’ theorem for the function v = yẑ, using the triangular surface shown in Fig. 1.51.
    [Answer: a2 .]

    Solution

    Stokes’s theorem relates the integral of a curl over an open surface to a closed loop integral over
    that surface’s boundary line. 
    (∇ × v) · dS = v · dl
    S bdy S

    Let S be the positively oriented gray area enclosed by the triangle in Fig. 1.51.

    Let f (x, y, z) = 2x + y + 2z and z = g(x, y) = a − x − y/2. Evaluate the left side of Stokes’s
    theorem, noting that the direction of the area element is given by the right-hand corkscrew rule.
