A whale is flying in space.. in a vector field of course. Lets analyse that a bit:)
F(x,y,z ) = x-y, x+y, 2z:
F(x,y,z ) = x-y, x+y, 2z from above:
Imagine this space contains a velocity field like a space storm of some sort, (solar flare? )
either way this whale is being pushed though this field, has decided to move using its telekinetic
abilities to stay in its path no matte what happens to it on the way.
To compute this we only need the field F(x,y,z) and the parameterized curve r(t)
A crude guess by simply looking at the field from above (x-y plane ) would not suggest this. Intuitivly
I would think that if you made a track in a circle with center in the middle and you placed a whale
there it would get push around by it self. But the math suggest something different.
parameterization around Z axis cc seen from above (helix is like a screw turns)
b
F (r (t )) r ' (t ) dt
a
2 pi
1 + 2 t dt
0
[t + t 2 ] 2 pi = 2 pi + (2 pi)
0
F (r (t )) r ' (t ) dt
a
borderes : r (a) = 2 pi , r ( b) = 0
1 + 2 t dt
2 pi
[t + t ] 0

= 2 pi (2 pi )
2 pi
thus total work = 0. .. therefore confirmed its , conservative .
FLUX Whale
Field
Vector field chosen by F (x , y , z ) = ( x y , x + y , 2 z)
to get the flux pasiing through an object
it is possible use the Gauss / Divergence therom to make it esier we devide the object into 4 segments or 4 volum
A , B , C , D
these voumes are calculated seperatly using the Gauss therom :
( F n) ds = ( F) dV
s R
To begin with we must find the divergence of bold F , which gives us a scalar,
which we use as the interand , (this is the same integrand for each volume ) calculated as F
d (x y ) d (x + y) d (2 z )
F = + + = 1+1+2= 4
dx dy dz
(the following equations a simplified an may not contain all necesary steps to follow the path of thought smoothly
