  1. Find the circulation of F⃗=⟨3yz,xz,−xy⟩\vF = \langle 3yz, xz, -xy\rangle along the curve CC consisting of (given in order of the orientation) the quarter-circle of radius 11 centered at (0,−2,0)(0,-2,0) in the plane y=−2y=-2 from (0,−2,1)(0,-2,1) to (1,−2,0)(1,-2,0), the line segment from (1,−2,0)(1,-2,0) to (1,5,0)(1,5,0), the quarter-circle of radius 11 centered at (0,5,0)(0,5,0) in the plane y=5y=5 from (1,5,0)(1,5,0) to (0,5,1)(0,5,1), and the line segment from (0,5,1)(0,5,1) to (0,−2,1)(0,-2,1).

  2. Find the circulation of G⃗=3z2ı^−(z2+2x)ȷ^+zyk^\vG = 3z^2 \vi -(z^2 + 2x) \vj +zy \vk along the circle in the xyxy-plane of radius 33 centered at the origin. Assume the counterclockwise orientation of the circle.
