Section 1: Engineering Mathematics

Vector Calculus

Subtopic: Stokes, Gauss and Green's theorems

Question Statement:

Using Gauss's Divergence Theorem, evaluate $\iint_S \vec{F} \cdot \hat{n} dS$ where $\vec{F} = 2x\hat{i} + 3y\hat{j} + 4z\hat{k}$ and $S$ is the surface of unit sphere $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$. The value divided by $\pi$ is:

Answer Key:

12

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

$\nabla \cdot \vec{F} = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9$. Flux $= \iiint 9 dV = 9 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi (1)^3 = 12\pi$. Divided by $\pi$, value is $12.0$.
