Homework Statement



Hi. I think it will be easiest to understand if I upload a word document as it has some complicated characters. The bold letters stand for vectors.

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to change the form of the those two equations to the form stated in divergence theorem and then to compare the u (or F as in link above), but the u (F) on the left hand side is never equal to this on the right.

Unfortunately, I am not able to open your links because I "do not have the correct plug in". And most people are very wary of opening links or, certainly, down loading plug ins from unknown sites.
