Problem

Evaluate $\int_{C} \vec{F} \cdot \overrightarrow{d r}$ where $\vec{F}(x, y, z)=\langle 1.75 y z \cos (x y z), 1.75 x z \cos (x y z), 1.75 x y \cos (x y z)\rangle$ and C is the line segment joining the point $\left(5, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{1}{5}\right)$ to the point $\left(5, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{\pi}{6}\right)$.

Solution

Step 1 :Given the vector field \(\vec{F}(x, y, z)=\langle 1.75 y z \cos (x y z), 1.75 x z \cos (x y z), 1.75 x y \cos (x y z)\rangle\) and the line segment C joining the point \(\left(5, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{1}{5}\right)\) to the point \(\left(5, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\).

Step 2 :We need to evaluate the line integral \(\int_{C} \vec{F} \cdot \overrightarrow{d r}\).

Step 3 :The line segment C can be parameterized by \(\vec{r}(t) = (1-t)\vec{A} + t\vec{B}\) where \(\vec{A} = \left(5, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{1}{5}\right)\), \(\vec{B} = \left(5, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\) and t varies from 0 to 1.

Step 4 :Substitute \(\vec{r}(t)\) into \(\vec{F}\) to get \(\vec{F}(t)\) and calculate \(\vec{F}(t) \cdot \vec{r}'(t)\), where \(\vec{r}'(t)\) is the derivative of \(\vec{r}(t)\) with respect to t.

Step 5 :Finally, integrate \(\vec{F}(t) \cdot \vec{r}'(t)\) from 0 to 1 to get the line integral.

Step 6 :The integral is quite complex and cannot be easily simplified. However, we can use numerical methods to approximate the value of the integral.

Step 7 :The value of the line integral \(\int_{C} \vec{F} \cdot \overrightarrow{d r}\) is approximately \(\boxed{-0.875}\).
