4.4. THE FIRST FUNDAMENTAL FORM 92<br />
(b) Conclude that there is a surface <strong>of</strong> revolution with the same first<br />
fundamental <strong>for</strong>m.<br />
(9) Assume a surface has a parametrization q (u, v) where<br />
apple<br />
guu<br />
g uv<br />
g vu g vv<br />
=<br />
apple<br />
r<br />
2<br />
0<br />
0 r 2<br />
where r (u) > 0 is only a function <strong>of</strong> u. Showthatthereisareparametrization<br />
u = u (s) such that the first fundamental <strong>for</strong>m becomes<br />
apple apple<br />
gss g sv 1 0<br />
=<br />
g vs g vv 0 r 2<br />
(10) For a parametrized surface q (u, v) show that<br />
N ⇥ @q<br />
@u = g uu @q<br />
@v<br />
N ⇥ @q<br />
@v = g uv @q<br />
@v<br />
@q<br />
@u ⇥ @q<br />
@v<br />
@q<br />
@u ⇥ @q<br />
@v<br />
(11) If we have a parametrization where<br />
apple 1 0<br />
[I] =<br />
0 g vv<br />
g uv<br />
@q<br />
@u<br />
g vv<br />
@q<br />
@u<br />
then the coordinate function f (u, v) =u has<br />
ru = @q<br />
@u .<br />
(12) Show that it is always possible to find an orthogonal parametrization, i.e.,<br />
g uv vanishes.<br />
(13) Show that if<br />
@g uu<br />
@v<br />
= @g vv<br />
@u = g uv =0<br />
then we can reparametrize u and v separately, i.e., u = u (s) and v = v (t) ,<br />
in such a way that we obtain Cartesian coordinates:<br />
(14) Show that if<br />
then<br />
and conclude that<br />
g ss = g tt =1,<br />
g st = 0<br />

@u@v =0<br />
q (u, v) =F (u)+G (v)<br />

@u =0<br />
Give an example where g uv 6=0.
