Question 17.139

Let \({\Phi}{:}\, D \subset {\mathbb R}^{2} \to {\mathbb R}^{3}\) be a parametrization of a surface \(S\) defined by \[ x=x(u, v),\qquad y=y(u, v),\qquad z=z(u, v). \]

  • (a) Let \[ \frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial u}=\bigg(\frac{\partial x}{\partial u}, \frac{\partial y}{\partial u}, \frac{\partial z}{\partial u}\bigg) \quad \hbox{and}\quad \frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial v} = \bigg(\frac{\partial x}{\partial v}, \frac{\partial y}{\partial v}, \frac{\partial z}{\partial v}\bigg), \] that is, \(\partial {\Phi}/\partial u = {\bf T}_{u}\) and \(\partial {\Phi}/\partial v = {\bf T}_{v}\), and set \[ E=\Big\|\frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial u}\Big\|^2,\qquad F = \frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial u} \ {\cdot} \ \frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial v}, \qquad G =\Big\|\frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial v}\Big\|^2. \] Show that \[ \sqrt{EG - F^2}=\|{\bf T}_u\times {\bf T}_v\|, \] and that the surface area of \(S\) is \[ A(S)=\int\!\!\int_{D} \sqrt{EG - F^{2}} \, {du\, dv}. \] In this notation, how can we express \(\int\!\!\int_{S} {\it f dS}\) for a general function of \(f\)?
  • (b) What does the formula for \(A(S)\) become if the vectors \(\partial {\Phi}/\partial u\) and \(\partial {\Phi}/\partial v\) are orthogonal?
  • (c) Use parts (a) and (b) to compute the surface area of a sphere of radius \(a\).

Question 17.140

Dirichlet’s functional for a parametrized surface \({\Phi}\colon\, D\to {\mathbb R}^3\) is defined byfootnote # \[ J({\Phi}) = \frac{1}{2} \int\!\!\!\int\nolimits_{D} \Big(\Big\|\frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial u}\Big\|^2+ \Big\|\frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial v}\Big\|^2\Big)\, du \,dv. \]

Use Exercise 23 to argue that the area \(A({\Phi}) \le J({\Phi})\) and equality holds if \[ \hbox{(a)} \Big\|\frac{\partial {\Phi}}{\partial u}\Big\|^2 = \Big\|\frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial v}\Big\|^2\qquad \hbox{and }\qquad \hbox{(b)} \frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial u}\, {\cdot}\, \frac{\partial{\Phi}}{\partial v} = 0. \]

Compare these equations with the previous exercise and the remarks at the end of Section 17.4. A parametrization \({\Phi}\) that satisfies conditions (a) and (b) is said to be conformal.

Question 17.141

Let \(D\subset{\mathbb R}^2\) and \({\Phi}\colon\, D \to {\mathbb R}^2\) be a smooth function \({\Phi}(u,v) = (x(u,v),y(u,v))\) satisfying conditions (a) and (b) of Exercise 16 and assume that \begin{eqnarray*} \hbox{ det } \left[\begin{array}{l@{\qquad}l} \\[-8pt] \displaystyle\frac{\partial x}{\partial u} & \displaystyle\frac{\partial x}{\partial v}\\[11pt] \displaystyle\frac{\partial y}{\partial u} &\displaystyle\frac{\partial y}{\partial v}\\[7pt] \end{array}\right] >0.\\[-4pt] \end{eqnarray*}

Show that \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the Cauchy–Riemann equations \(\partial x/\partial u = \partial y/\partial v, \partial x/\partial v = - \partial y/\partial u\).

Conclude that \(\nabla^2{\Phi} = 0\) (i.e., each component of \({\Phi}\) is harmonic).

Question 17.142

Let \(S\) be a sphere of radius \(r\) and \({\bf p}\) be a point inside or outside the sphere (but not on it). Show that \[ \int\!\!\!\int\nolimits_{S}\frac{1}{\|{\bf x}-{\bf p}\|} \,dS = \left\{ \begin{array}{l@{\qquad}l} 4\pi r &\hbox{if}\quad{\bf p}\hbox{ is inside } S\\ 4\pi r^2/d &\hbox{if}\quad{\bf p}\hbox{ is outside } S, \end{array}\right. \] where \(d\) is the distance from \({\bf p}\) to the center of the sphere and the integration is over the sphere. [HINT: Assume \({\bf p}\) is on the \(z\)-axis. Then change variables and evaluate. Why is this assumption on \({\bf p}\) justified?]

Question 17.143

Find the surface area of that part of the cylinder \(x^2 + z^2 = a^2\) that is inside the cylinder \(x^2 + y^2 = 2ay\) and also in the positive octant \((x \ge 0, y \ge 0, z \ge 0)\). Assume \(a > 0\).

Question 17.144

Let a surface \(S\) be defined implicitly by \(F(x, y, z) = 0\) for \((x, y)\) in a domain \(D\) of \({\mathbb R}^2\). Show that \begin{eqnarray*} &&\int\!\!\!\int\nolimits_{S} \Big|\frac{\partial F}{\partial z}\Big|\,dS \\[4pt] &&= \int\!\!\!\int\nolimits_{D} \sqrt{\Big(\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}\Big)^2 + \Big(\frac{\partial F}{\partial y}\Big)^2 + \Big(\frac{\partial F}{\partial z}\Big)^2} \,{\it dx} \,{\it dy}. \end{eqnarray*}

Compare with Exercise 22 of Section 17.4.
