In a vector field V = (x^a, y^b, z^c) what is the value of ∇.V at (x, y, z) = (d, e, f) with a = 3, b = 4, c = 3, d = 1.7, e = 3.4, f = 3.4?
In spherical coordinates, find the θ Lagrange equation for a particle moving in the potential field V = V (r, θ, φ). What is the θ component of the acceleration? Hint: The θ Lagrange equation is the θ component of ma = F = −∇V ; for components of ∇V , see Chapter 6, end of Section 6, or Chapter 10, Section 9.
A vector field v is expressed in spherical coordinates as:
v (r,θ,φ) = 2r cos θ er − r sin θ eθ
Calculate ∇ × v and hence show that v is everywhere conservative.
