1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,230 CHRISTINE BREINER: Welcome back to recitation. 2 00:00:09,230 --> 00:00:12,220 In this video I would like us to use Green's theorem 3 00:00:12,220 --> 00:00:14,140 to compute the following integral, 4 00:00:14,140 --> 00:00:16,790 where it's the integral over the curve C, 5 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:19,140 where C is the circle drawn here. 6 00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:24,020 So the circle is oriented so the interior is on the left 7 00:00:24,020 --> 00:00:28,320 and it's centered at the point where x equals a, y equals 0. 8 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,620 So the integral-- you can read it but I will read it also 9 00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:35,320 for you-- it's the integral of 3 x squared y squared dx plus 2 x 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,340 squared times the quantity 1 plus x*y dy. 11 00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:40,090 So you are supposed to use Green's theorem 12 00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:41,180 to compute that. 13 00:00:41,180 --> 00:00:42,989 And why don't you pause the video, 14 00:00:42,989 --> 00:00:45,530 give it a shot, and then when you're ready to see my solution 15 00:00:45,530 --> 00:00:46,863 you can bring the video back up. 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,040 OK, welcome back. 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,050 Well, what we're going to do, obviously 18 00:00:59,050 --> 00:01:01,370 to use Green's theorem to compute this-- 19 00:01:01,370 --> 00:01:03,690 because I gave you a big hint that you're supposed 20 00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:05,160 to use Green's theorem, because we 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,990 have an integral over a closed curve. 22 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:09,580 And what we're going to do is now 23 00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:14,250 take the integral of another certain integrand-- obviously 24 00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:17,080 related in some way to this-- over the region 25 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,000 that I will shade here. 26 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,400 So we're interested in this shaded region now. 27 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,075 So let me write down what Green's theorem is and then 28 00:01:24,075 --> 00:01:25,450 we'll put in the important parts. 29 00:01:25,450 --> 00:01:29,050 OK, so just to remind you, I'm not going to write down all 30 00:01:29,050 --> 00:01:31,010 the hypotheses of Green's theorem that we need, 31 00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:33,770 but the point that I want to make is that if we start 32 00:01:33,770 --> 00:01:41,800 the integral over this closed curve C of M*dx plus N*dy we 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,290 can also integrate over the region that C encloses of N sub 34 00:01:47,290 --> 00:01:51,660 x minus M sub y dy dx. 35 00:01:55,530 --> 00:01:58,500 So that is ultimately what we're going to do. 36 00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:00,400 And so in this case again, as always, 37 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,470 M is going to be the function associated with the dx portion. 38 00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:08,270 It's the i-th component of the vector field. 39 00:02:08,270 --> 00:02:10,970 And N is going to be the function associated here 40 00:02:10,970 --> 00:02:12,880 with the dy. 41 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,830 That's standard obviously. 42 00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:16,455 So now what we want to do is transform 43 00:02:16,455 --> 00:02:18,746 what we have there into something that looks like this. 44 00:02:18,746 --> 00:02:20,810 So the region-- I'm just going to keep calling it 45 00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:23,570 R for the moment-- but the region R, you'll notice, 46 00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:25,790 is the thing that I shaded in the drawing. 47 00:02:25,790 --> 00:02:28,420 And so now let's compute what this is-- well 48 00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:30,110 you have the capacity to do that. 49 00:02:30,110 --> 00:02:33,090 That's just some straight taking derivative. 50 00:02:33,090 --> 00:02:38,677 So I'm just going to write down what it is and not show you 51 00:02:38,677 --> 00:02:39,760 all the individual pieces. 52 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,727 So I'll just write down what you get 53 00:02:41,727 --> 00:02:43,060 and then the simplified version. 54 00:02:43,060 --> 00:02:48,120 So you get 6 x squared y plus 4x is N sub x. 55 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,080 And then M sub y is negative 6 x squared y. 56 00:02:54,777 --> 00:02:57,360 And I'm going to call dy*dx, I'm just going to refer to it now 57 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,510 as dA, because that makes it a lot easier to write. 58 00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:02,735 Oh, I guess I should call this-- well, dA, this is the area. 59 00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:06,460 The volume form there. 60 00:03:06,460 --> 00:03:13,440 So this simplifies and I just get the integral of 4x 61 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,590 over this region dA. 62 00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,760 Now this-- you saw an example of this 63 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,220 in lecture of how to deal with these types of problems. 64 00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:24,470 At this point, if I really wanted to, 65 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:28,675 I could figure out what the bounds are in that region 66 00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:32,420 R in terms of x and y, and I could do a lot of work 67 00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:36,380 and integrate it all, or I could remember one simple fact. 68 00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:39,820 Which is that if I have-- I think 69 00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:44,140 you see it in class as x bar-- the center of mass 70 00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:48,770 should be equal to 1 over the volume 71 00:03:48,770 --> 00:03:57,887 of the region times the integral of x dA over the region. 72 00:03:57,887 --> 00:03:58,720 That's what we know. 73 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,803 This should be-- this maybe doesn't look like a V. 74 00:04:00,803 --> 00:04:03,330 But so in this case, volume is area, isn't it? 75 00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:05,720 Maybe I should write area, that might make you nervous. 76 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,635 So if I take the area-- I could just say A of R-- 77 00:04:09,635 --> 00:04:12,240 if I take the area, 1 over the area, 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,200 and then I multiply by the integral of x over R with 79 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:21,040 dy*dx, with respect to dA, then I get the center of mass. 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,150 Well, let's look at what-- in this picture, what 81 00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:25,380 is the center of mass here? 82 00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:29,670 If I want to balance this thing on a pencil tip, 83 00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:32,157 if I want to balance this disc-- assuming the density is 84 00:04:32,157 --> 00:04:33,740 everywhere the same-- on a pencil tip, 85 00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:34,660 where am I going to put the pencil? 86 00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:36,520 I'm going to put it right at the center. 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,330 The x-value there is a, the y-value there is 0. 88 00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:41,970 So if I had the y center of mass, I would want 0. 89 00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:45,750 But I want the x center of mass, so I want a. 90 00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:48,540 This x bar is actually equal to, from the picture, 91 00:04:48,540 --> 00:04:50,720 is equal to a. 92 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,380 And now let's notice what I've done. 93 00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:57,420 I have taken-- I had this quantity here-- I've 94 00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:59,230 taken this quantity except for the 4 95 00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:01,320 and I have a way of writing explicitly 96 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,200 what this quantity is without actually 97 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,240 doing any of the integration. 98 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,540 I haven't done any sophisticated things at this point 99 00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:11,030 except know what the center of mass is. 100 00:05:11,030 --> 00:05:14,310 So also what is the area of the region? 101 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:16,320 I'm going to need that. 102 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,730 The area of the region-- it's a circle of radius a. 103 00:05:20,730 --> 00:05:24,840 So the area is pi a squared. 104 00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:27,810 So this quantity is pi a squared. 105 00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:32,870 And all this together tells me that the integral of x over R 106 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:38,690 dA, if I solve for this part, I get a times pi a squared. 107 00:05:38,690 --> 00:05:41,650 So I get pi a cubed. 108 00:05:41,650 --> 00:05:45,000 And that only differs from our answer by one thing. 109 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,785 There's a scalar-- you multiply by 4 110 00:05:47,785 --> 00:05:49,270 and that gives us what we want. 111 00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:50,561 I said differs from our answer. 112 00:05:50,561 --> 00:05:52,510 Differs from what we want by one thing. 113 00:05:52,510 --> 00:05:55,710 We just multiplied by 4 there, so we multiply by 4 here. 114 00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:59,360 So in fact-- maybe there looks like there was a little magic 115 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,740 here, so let me point out some of the key points at the end. 116 00:06:03,740 --> 00:06:07,270 I started off knowing I was trying to integrate 4x 117 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:10,590 over the region R. And R in this case 118 00:06:10,590 --> 00:06:15,520 was a circle centered at (a, 0) and of radius a. 119 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,960 And then I said, well, I don't want to do a lot of work 120 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:19,460 for this. 121 00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:21,112 So I'm going to not cheat, but I'm 122 00:06:21,112 --> 00:06:23,070 going to use my knowledge of the center of mass 123 00:06:23,070 --> 00:06:24,940 to make this easier. 124 00:06:24,940 --> 00:06:26,490 So the center of mass is equal to 1 125 00:06:26,490 --> 00:06:29,940 divided by the area of the region times the integral of x 126 00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:32,140 over the region. 127 00:06:32,140 --> 00:06:34,670 So I want to find the integral of x over the region, 128 00:06:34,670 --> 00:06:37,550 I just solve for the integral of x over the region. 129 00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:39,450 I just solve for that part. 130 00:06:39,450 --> 00:06:41,672 The center of mass-- from just looking at the picture 131 00:06:41,672 --> 00:06:43,380 and understanding what the center of mass 132 00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:46,480 means-- the center of mass in the x component is a. 133 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,100 The area is pi a squared. 134 00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:52,100 So I end up with a pi a cubed when 135 00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:54,860 I solve for the integral of x. 136 00:06:54,860 --> 00:06:57,900 And then because I wanted the integral of 4x, 137 00:06:57,900 --> 00:06:59,930 I just multiply by 4. 138 00:06:59,930 --> 00:07:05,000 And so the final answer is actually 4 pi a cubed. 139 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,920 So what I was trying to find, if you 140 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,460 remember, was I was trying to find the value, 141 00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:13,710 when I integrated over this curve, 142 00:07:13,710 --> 00:07:15,980 of a certain vector field. 143 00:07:15,980 --> 00:07:19,649 And that one was going to be a little messy to do it that way. 144 00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:21,190 But Green's theorem, actually there's 145 00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:23,250 a lot of cancellation which makes it much easier, 146 00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,630 and then the center of mass is a nice little trick 147 00:07:25,630 --> 00:07:26,580 to use at the end. 148 00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,070 And then the calculation is quite simple. 149 00:07:29,070 --> 00:07:31,151 So I think that's where I'll stop.
