Question
A vector field exists inside a cylindrical region enclosed by the surfaces and . Let be the surface bounding this cylindrical region. The surface integral of this field on () is ______.
Correct answer
78 to 79
Solution
By the Divergence Theorem, the surface integral over a closed surface is equal to the volume integral of the divergence of the field over the enclosed volume :In cylindrical coordinates, the divergence is:Given , we have , , and .The volume integral is:The range is 78 to 79.
