A triangular metal plate has vertices at (0,0)(0,0), (1,0)(1,0), and (1,k)(1,k), for some unknown k>0k>0. A fluid with velocity field F=(xy, x2)\mathbf F=(xy,\,x^2) circulates around the boundary of the plate, traversed counterclockwise. If the total circulation ∮Cxy dx+x2 dy\displaystyle\oint_C xy\,dx+x^2\,dy around the boundary equals 11, find kk.
