6.2 Extended Versions of Green’s Theorem

Green’s Theorem can be extended to apply to regions with holes, that is, regions that are not simply-connected.

Theorem: Green’s Theorem

Let D be a region with finitely many holes (so that D has finitely many boundary curves), and denote the boundary of D by D. D is positive oriented. Let F=<P,Q> be a vector field with component functions that have continuous partial derivatives on D. Then, 

CFdr=CPdx+Qdy=D(QxPy)dA.

 

 

Example 1: Evaluate CFdr where F(x,y)=<x2y2,x2+sin(y2)> and C is the boundary of the region between the circle x2+y2=1 and x2+y2=4 with positive orientation. 

 

 

 

Exercise 1: Evaluate CFdr where F(x,y)=<y2,x+ey2> and C is the boundary of the region between the circle x2+y2=4 and x2+y2=9 with positive orientation. 

 

 

 

Example 2: Evaluate Cy3dxx3dy, where C includes the two circles of radius 2 and radius 1 centered at the origin, both with positive orientation.

 

 

 

 

Exercise 2: Evaluate Cxy3dx+yx3dy, where C includes the two circles of radius 3 and radius 2 centered at the origin, both with positive orientation.

 

 

 

Example 3: Evaluate Cyx2dx+x3dy where C is positively oriented along the ellipse 4x2+y2=4. 

 

 

 

 

Exercise 3: Evaluate C(xy)dx+(x2)dy where C is positively oriented along along the ellipse x2+9y2=9. 

 

 

 

Example 4: Find the area between ellipse x29+y24=1 and circle x2+y2=25.

 

 

 

 

Exercise 4: Find the area between ellipse x225+y216=1 and circle x2+y2=4.

 

 

 

Example 5: Find area using planimeter and F(x,y)=<12y,12x>. 

Planimeter for map measure.

 

 

 

Group work:

1. Find the area of the region bounded by hypocycloid r(t)=<cos3(t),sin3(t)>. The curve is parameterized by t[0,2π].

 

2. Find the counterclockwise circulation of field F(x,y)=xyi+y2j around and over the boundary of the region enclosed by curves y=x2 and y=x in the first quadrant and oriented in the counterclockwise direction.

 

3. Find the work done by F(x,y)=<2y+2xsin(y),x2cos(y)3y2> on a particle that moves along triangle C with vertices (0,0),(1,0) and (1,1), oriented counterclockwise.

 

4. Evaluate the line integral Cxe2xdx+(x4+2x2y2)dy where C is the boundary of the region between circles x2+y2=4 and x2+y2=9, and is a positively oriented curve.
