Consider the volume V bounded below by the x-y plane and above by the upper half-sphere x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 4 and inside the cylinder x^2 + y^2 = 1
Given vector field: A = xi + yj + zk
Use the divergence theorem to calculate the flux of A out of V through the spherical cap on the cylinder.
Really stuck!
Could someone please give me tips on how to answer these sort of questions? I get really stuck, like firstly replacing dS in the surface integral, and what equations to use, etc. I couldn't even get going with this one, my only idea was just calculating the flux through the upper half sphere ... how does the cylinder equation come into it?
Thanks
