The pressure in a region is given by P(x, y, z) = 1000 + 3x² - 7xy.
(i) A wind, flowing from regions of high pressure to low pressure, is evident in the region. The wind
direction is parallel/anti-parallel with the pressure gradient. The figure below shows some ar-
bitrary contour surfaces of P with vectors indicating the wind direction. Find the wind direction.

(ii) A device measuring the directional derivative of the pressure gradient is placed at the position
(1, -1, 2) and aligned with the vector m = 2î+5 ĵ−1 ŵ. Find the expected value for the direc-
tional derivative.
(iii) The pressure can be assumed to be two-dimensional in the plane z = 0. If the measuring device
records a directional derivative of -7 at the point (2,1,0) with alignment direction û = u₁₁ +
u2ĵ + Ok, find û.
