Use the Divergence Theorem to calculate the surface integral int int_S F · dS, that is, calculate the flux of F across S. F(x, y, z) = (x^3 + y^3)i + (y^3 + z^3)j + (z^3 + x^3)k, S is the sphere with center the origin and radius 2.

Calculate the surface integral using the divergence theorem. SF·dS, i.e., determine the flux of F across S.
F(x,y,z)=(x3+y3)i+(y3+z3)j+(z3+x3)k, S is a sphere with an origin-centered center and a radius of 2.

Let E be a simplesolid region and S is the boundary surface of E with positive orientation and Let F be a vector field whose components have continous first orderpartial derivatives. then
SFdS=E÷FdV
Step 2
Apply the above theorem as follows.
Given that F(x,y,z)=(x3+y3)i+(y3+z3)j+(z3+x3)k
div F=F=3x2+3y2+3z2
SFdS=EidvFdV
=E(3x2+3y2+3z2)dV
=3E(x2+y2+z2)dV
=36E(2)dVx2+y2+z2=22)
=72E1dV
=72(4π3×23) ( volume of the sphere is 4π3r3)
=768π
