Let S be a known surface with a boundary curve, C.

Considering the integral , utilize Stokes' Theorem to determine for an equivalent integral of the form:

Explanation

In order to utilize Stokes' theorem, note its form

The curl of a vector function F over an oriented surface S is equivalent to the function F itself integrated over the boundary curve, C, of S.

Note that

From what we're told

And it can be inferred from this that

A helpful approach can be to look at the right sides of the equations and see what variables are represented compared to what variables a vector component of F is being derived for. Doing this and integrating, we can infer that

and
