Answer

$\dfrac{2 A}{\sqrt 3}$

Work Step by Step

Stokes' Theorem states that $\iint_{S} curl F \cdot dS=\iint_{C} F \cdot dr $ Re-write the equation as: $\int_{C} F \cdot dr=\int_{C} (z i-2 x j+3y k) \cdot (dx i+dy j+dz k)$ Suppose $S$ is a part of the plane $x+y+z=1$ which is the region enclosed by the loop $C$. We have: $curl F=3i+j-2k$ Now, $\int_{C} F \cdot dr=\iint_{S} F \cdot dS= \iint curl F \cdot n dS$ or, $=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt 3} \iint_{S}(3 i+j -2k) \cdot (i+j+k) dS$ or, $=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt 3} \iint_{S}(3+1 -2) dS$ or, $=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt 3} \iint_{S} dS$ Now,$\iint_{S} curl F \cdot dS=\iint_{C} F \cdot dr =\dfrac{2 A}{\sqrt 3}$
