QUESTION 4 Consider the surface that can be parameterized as x(u, v) = u cos v usin v 2 (u, v) = u for u, v € (0, 2). a) Find the line element for the surface. (9) b) Let x1 = u and r2 = v. What is the metric tensor and the dual metric tensor? Explain how you determine these. (5) c) The only non-zero Christoffel coefficients for this surface are l'1, 1122, 1²2 and 13. Calculate these. (10) d) What is the value of the component R 212 of the Riemann curvature tensor? Make sure you simplify your answer. (9)
