Exercise 18

Avg difficulty 2.5

Calculate the flux of the given vector field F⃗\vF through the surface SS for each situation below by using an appropriate triple integral from the Divergence Theorem.

  1. The vector field F⃗=⟨2x+3sin⁡(yz),−4y+ex2,7z+arctan⁡(y5)\vF = \langle 2x+3\sin(yz),-4y+e^{x^2} , 7z+\arctan(y^5) through the tetrahedron SS with vertices (0,0,0)(0,0,0), (1,0,0)(1,0,0), (0,2,0)(0,2,0), and (0,0,2)(0,0,2).

  2. The vector field F⃗=⟨xy2,yz2,zx2⟩\vF=\langle xy^2,yz^2,zx^2\rangle through SS, the portion of the sphere of radius 33 centered at the origin having x≥0x\geq 0.
