Zero curl, yet the field is not conservative Show that the curl of $$\mathbf{F}=\frac{-y}{x^{2}+y^{2}} \mathbf{i}+\frac{x}{x^{2}+y^{2}} \mathbf{j}+z \mathbf{k}$$ is zero but that $$\oint_{C} \mathbf{F} \cdot d \mathbf{r}$$ is not zero if \(C\) is the circle \(x^{2}+y^{2}=1\) in the \(x y\) -plane.

Problem 35

Conservation of mass Let \(\mathbf{v}(t, x, y, z)\) be a continuously differentiable vector field over the region \(D\) in space and let \(p(t, x)\) \(y, z )\) be a continuously differentiable scalar function. The variable \(t\) represents the time domain. The Law of Conservation of Mass asserts that $$\frac{d}{d t} \iiint_{D} p(t, x, y, z) d V=-\iint_{S} p \mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{n} d \sigma$$ where \(S\) is the surface enclosing \(D\) a. Give a physical interpretation of the conservation of mass law if \(\mathbf{v}\) is a velocity flow field and \(p\) represents the density of the fluid at point \((x, y, z)\) at time \(t\) b. Use the Divergence Theorem and Leibniz's Rule, $$\frac{d}{d t} \iiint_{D} p(t, x, y, z) d V=\iiint_{D} \frac{\partial p}{\partial t} d V$$ to show that the Law of Conservation of Mass is equivalent to the continuity equation, $$\nabla \cdot p \mathbf{v}+\frac{\partial p}{\partial t}=0$$ (In the first term \(\nabla \cdot p \mathbf{v},\) the variable \(t\) is held fixed, and in the second term \(\partial p / \partial t,\) it is assumed that the point \((x, y, z)\) in \(D\) is held fixed.)
