Answer

$-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Consider the Stoke's Theorem states: $\iint_S curl F\cdot dS=\int_C F \cdot dr$ Here, we have $\dfrac{x}{1}+\dfrac{y}{1}+\dfrac{z}{1}=1$ This is the equation of the plane with the intercepts. Then, $z=1-x-y$ Let us consider $F=ai+bj+ck$ and $curl(F)=(\dfrac{\partial c}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial b}{\partial z})\hat{i}+(\dfrac{\partial a}{\partial z}-\dfrac{\partial c}{\partial x})\hat{j}+(\dfrac{\partial b}{\partial x}-\dfrac{\partial a}{\partial y})\hat{k}$ or, $ curl(F)=-yi-zj-xk$ and $\iint_S curl F\cdot dS=\iint_D-y-z-x dA=-\iint_D dA$ Here, $\iint_D dA$: shows the area of a triangle which is equal to $=\dfrac{1}{2}(1)(1)=\dfrac{1}{2}$ Thus, $\iint_S curl F\cdot dS=\int_C F \cdot dr=-\iint_D dA$ or, $=-\dfrac{1}{2}$
