Answer:

x=3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the rectangular pool

$A=LW$

we have

$L=18\ m\\W=12\ m$

substitute

$A=18(12)=216\ m^2$

step 2

Find the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

Let

x ----> the width of the walkway

we have

$L=(18+2x)\ m\\W=(12+2x)\ m$

substitute

$A=(18+2x)(12+2x)$

step 3

Find the area of the walkway

To find out the area of the walkway subtract the area of the pool from the area of rectangular pool including the area of the walkway

$A=(18+2x)(12+2x)-216$

step 4

Find the value of x if the area of the walkway equal the area of the pool

$(18+2x)(12+2x)-216=216$

Solve for x

$(18+2x)(12+2x)=432\\216+36x+24x+4x^{2}=432\\4x^{2} +60x-216=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=3 meters

Use the Divergence Theorem to evaluate S F · dS, where F(x, y, z) = z2xi + y3 3 + sin z j + (x2z + y2)k and S is the top half of

kifflom [539]

Looks like we have

$\vec F(x,y,z)=z^2x\,\vec\imath+\left(\dfrac{y^3}3+\sin z\right)\,\vec\jmath+(x^2z+y^2)\,\vec k$

which has divergence

$\nabla\cdot\vec F(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(z^2x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial\left(\frac{y^3}3+\sin z\right)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(x^2z+y^2)}{\partial z}=z^2+y^2+x^2$

By the divergence theorem, the integral of $\vec F$ across $S$ is equal to the integral of $\nabla\cdot\vec F$ over $R$ , where $R$ is the region enclosed by $S$ . Of course, $S$ is not a closed surface, but we can make it so by closing off the hemisphere $S$ by attaching it to the disk $x^2+y^2\le1$ (call it $D$ ) so that $R$ has boundary $S\cup D$ .

Then by the divergence theorem,

$\displaystyle\iint_{S\cup D}\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\iiint_R(x^2+y^2+z^2)\,\mathrm dV$

Compute the integral in spherical coordinates, setting

$\begin{cases}x=\rho\cos\theta\sin\varphi\\y=\rho\sin\theta\sin\varphi\\z=\rho\cos\varphi\end{cases}\implies\mathrm dV=\rho^2\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi$

so that the integral is

$\displaystyle\iiint_R(x^2+y^2+z^2)\,\mathrm dV=\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\rho^4\sin\varphi\,\mathrm d\rho\,\mathrm d\theta\,\mathrm d\varphi=\frac{2\pi}5$

The integral of $\vec F$ across $S\cup D$ is equal to the integral of $\vec F$ across $S$ plus the integral across $D$ (without outward orientation, so that

$\displaystyle\iint_S\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\frac{2\pi}5-\iint_D\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S$

Parameterize $D$ by

$\vec s(u,v)=u\cos v\,\vec\imath+u\sin v\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le u\le1$ and $0\le v\le2\pi$ . Take the normal vector to $D$ to be

$\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\vec s}{\partial u}=-u\,\vec k$

Then we have

$\displaystyle\iint_D\vec F\cdot\mathrm d\vec S=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1\left(\frac{u^3}3\sin^3v\,\vec\jmath+u^2\sin^2v\,\vec k\right)\times(-u\,\vec k)\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$
