1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

where the boldface type denotes a vector quantity. In general, the incremental surface dS may be expressed as r dψ R d∅. Examining Figure 1, we see that dS = R2 sin∅ dψ d∅ for this particular nozzle. Substituting Equations 3 and 4 in Equation 2 and integrating ∅ from zero to θ and ψ circumferentially from zero to π, we arrive at the result

2. Relevant equations

3. The attempt at a solution
When I integrate to get 5, I get 0.5ρve2R2sin2θ instead. Shouldn't there be a 0.5 when you integrate sinθcosθ or did the paper miss out on something?
