  1. Pipe flow line integral S0 4267S For \(-3\leq x\leq 3\) feet, the two-dimensional flow rate in feet per second of storm water in a pipe can be modeled by \(6e^{-x^2}\boldsymbol{\hat{y}}\). For each of the following curves, choose a parametrization, construct a line integral of the given vector field over the curve and determine its (approximate) value.
    • \(x^2+y^2=4\).
    • \(y=2-x^2\).
    • \(y=2x\).
  2. Saturn and Titan S0 4267S Titan is a moon of Saturn orbiting a distance \(1221.86\times10^3\) kilometers away and whose mass is \(2.36\times10^{-4}\) of Saturn's mass which is \(569\times10^{24}\) kilograms. The potential energy due to gravity is modeled by \(\Phi=\frac{-GMm}{r}\) where \(G=6.67\times10^{-11} \frac{m^3s^2}{kg}\), \(M\) is the mass of Saturn, \(m\) is the mass of an object (such as Titan) and \(r\) is the distance between Saturn and the object in orbit.
    • Describe the level sets of \(\Phi\) where \(m\) and \(r\) are variables. On which level set is Titan?
    • Which coordinate system would you choose for calculations in this situation?
    • Determine the gradient of \(\Phi\). In which direction does it point?
