Solution
The curl of a vector field R = P(x,y,z)i + Q(x,y,z)j + R(x,y,z)k is given by:
Curl(R) = (∂R/∂y - ∂Q/∂z)i - (∂P/∂z - ∂R/∂x)j + (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y)k
Given the vector field R(x,y,z) = (xy^3z^2)i + (2-xyz^3)j + (xyz)k, we can identify P(x,y,z) = xy^3z^2, Q(x,y,z) = 2-xyz^3, and R(x,y,z) = xyz.
We can now calculate the partial derivatives:
∂P/∂y = x3y^2z^2 ∂Q/∂z = -xy^33z^2 ∂R/∂x = yz ∂P/∂z = xy^32z ∂R/∂y = xz ∂Q/∂x = -y*z^3
Substituting these into the formula for Curl(R) gives:
Curl(R) = (∂R/∂y - ∂Q/∂z)i - (∂P/∂z - ∂R/∂x)j + (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y)k = (yz - -xy^33z^2)i - (xy^32z - yz)j + (-yz^3 - x3y^2z^2)k = (yz + xy^33z^2)i - (xy^32z - yz)j - (yz^3 + x3y^2z^2)k
Now we substitute the point P(-1,-2,1) into the curl:
Curl(R) = ((-21) + -1(-2)^331^2)i - (-1*(-2)^321 - -21)j - (-21^3 + -13(-2)^2*1^2)k = (-2 + 24)i - (-16 - -2)j - (-2 + 12)k = 22i - 14j + 10k
So, the curl of the vector field at point P(-1,-2,1) is 22i - 14j + 10k.
The magnitude of a vector A = ai + bj + ck is given by sqrt(a^2 + b^2 + c^2). So, the magnitude of the curl is sqrt(22^2 + (-14)^2 + 10^2) = sqrt(484 + 196 + 100) = sqrt(780) = 27.9284800875379.
So, the magnitude of the curl of the vector field at point P(-1,-2,1) is approximately 27.93.
