Let F=(y2,z2,x2)\mathbf F=(y^2,z^2,x^2) and let CC be the unit circle x2+y2=1x^2+y^2=1, z=0z=0, traversed counterclockwise viewed from above. Using Stokes' theorem with whichever capping surface — the flat disk or the upper unit hemisphere — makes the integral easiest, find ∮CF⋅dr\displaystyle\oint_C \mathbf F\cdot d\mathbf r.
