Question

Familiarize yourself with parametric representations of important surfaces by deriving a representation, by finding the parameter curves (curves u=const and v=const) of the surface and a normal vector N=ru*rv of the surface. Show the details of your work. xy-plane r(u, v)=(u, v)(thus ui+vj)

1 of 2

The paramater curves of the surface in the xyxy-plane parametrised by

r(u,v)=ui+vj=(u,v)\pmb{r}(u,v) = u \cdot \pmb{i} + v\cdot \pmb{j} = (u,v)

are:

u=u0(=const):r(u0,v)=u0i+vv=(u0,v)u=u_0( = const): \,\, r(u_0,v) = u_0 \cdot \pmb{i} + v \cdot \pmb{v} = (u_0,v)

and

v=v0(=const):r(u,v0)=ui+v0v=(u,v0)v=v_0( = const): \,\, r(u ,v_0) = u \cdot \pmb{i} + v_0 \cdot \pmb{v} = (u,v_0)

Notice that the first family of parameter curves is the family of all lines of the form x=u0x=u_0, while the second family of parameter curves is the family of all lines of the form y=v0y=v_0.

We have

ru=(1,0)=i,rv=(0,1)=j\pmb{r}_u = (1,0) = \pmb{i}, \,\, \pmb{r}_v = (0,1) = \pmb{j}

It is easy to see that the normal vector is given by

N=ru×rv=i×j=k\pmb{N} = \pmb{r}_u \times \pmb{r}_v = \pmb{i} \times \pmb{j} = \pmb{k}
