Question: Find the flux of F = (3z + 1)k upward across the hemisphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 = a 2 ,

Find the flux of F = (3z + 1)k upward across the hemisphere x2 + y2 + z2 = a2, z ≥ 0 


(a) With the Divergence Theorem and 


(b) By evaluating the flux integral directly.THEOREM 8-Divergence Theorem Let F be a vector field whose compo- nents

THEOREM 8-Divergence Theorem Let F be a vector field whose compo- nents have continuous first partial derivatives, and let S be a piecewise smooth oriented closed surface. The flux of F across S in the direction of the surface's outward unit normal field n equals the triple integral of the divergence V. F over the region D enclosed by the surface: [ F.ndo = Outward flux J V.F dV. Divergence integral (2)
