Problems: Divergence Theorem 2 2 Let S be the part of the paraboloid z = 1 − x − y which is above the xy-plane and S 1 2 be the unit disk in the xy-plane. Use the divergence theorem to find the flux of F upward through S , where F = (yz, xz, xy). 1 Answer: Write F = Mi + Nj + P k, where M = yz, N = xz, and P = xy. Then divF = M + N + P =0. x y z The divergence theorem says: flux = F · n dS = divF dV = 0 dV = 0 S1+S2 D D ⇒ F · n dS + F · n dS = 0 ⇒ F · n dS = − F · n dS. S S S S 1 2 1 2 Therefore to find what we want we only need to compute the flux through S . 2 But S is in the xy-plane, so dS = dx dy, n = −k ⇒ F · n dS = −xy dxdy on S . 2 2 Since S2 is the unit disk, symmetry gives −xy dxdy =0 ⇒ F · n dS = − F · n dS = 0.
