Line Integral on Sphere (Part 2)

Calculus Level 5

Consider the following curve, where the coordinates of each point on the curve are ( x , y , z ) (x,y,z) :

x = cos θ sin ϕ y = sin θ sin ϕ z = cos ϕ θ = α ϕ = π 2 α 0 α π 2 x = \cos \theta \, \sin \phi \\ y = \sin \theta \, \sin \phi \\ z = \cos \phi \\ \theta = \alpha \\ \phi = \frac{\pi}{2} - \alpha \\ 0 \leq \alpha \leq \frac{\pi}{2}

There is also a vector field present at all points in space:

F = ( F x , F y , F z ) = ( x y , y z , z x ) \vec{F} = (F_x,F_y,F_z) = (x y,y z,z x)

What is the absolute value of the line integral of the vector field over the curve?

C F d = ? \Big | \int_C \vec{F} \cdot \vec{d \ell} \, \Big | = ?


The answer is 0.01302.
