Divergence Theorem Clarification

29 Views Asked by At

This is the first time I'm doing this kind of problem, and I'm (understandably I think :)) hesitant about my answer. The question is:

Compute $\iint_{\partial Q}\ F\bullet ndS$ using the easiest method available where $Q$ is bounded by $z=4-x^2-y^2, z=1$ and $z=0$. $F=<z^3,x^2y,y^2z>$.

This is the work I did:
Divergence of F: $0+x^2+y^2\\ \int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2}\int_{0}^{1}r^3dz\ dr\ d\theta\\ =\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2}r^3dr\ d\theta\\ =\int_{0}^{2\pi}4d\theta\\ =8\pi$

Is this right? Like I said it's the first time I'm doing it and so I'm looking for feedback - on my bounds, my set up etc.

If you do $z$ first this will need to be two integrals. Doing $r$ first makes it one:

$$I = \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^1 \int_0^{\sqrt{4-z}} r^3\:dr\:dz\:d\theta =\frac{37\pi}{6}$$
