Q. 2
  1. (a)State and prove Stoke’s theorem. [8]
  2. (b)Prove that if the vector is the gradient of a scalar function then its line integral around a closed curve is zero. [4]
  3. (c)A particle moves along the curve x = x=2t2x = 2t^2 , y = y=t2−4ty = t^2- 4t , z = 3 t − 5 z = 3t-5 z = 3 t − 5 where tt is the time. Find the components of its velocity and acceleration at time t=1t=1 in the direction 2i−3j+2k2i-3j+2k . [8]
