Homework Statement


Evaluate the double integral of yz dS. S is the surface with parametric equations x=(u^2), y=usinv, z=ucosv, 0<u<1, 0<v<(pi/2)

(all the "less than" signs signify "less than or equal to" here)


Homework Equations



double integral of dot product of (F) and normal vector over the domain

The Attempt at a Solution


When I solved for the normal vector, I crossed r_u X r_v and got 5u^4.

Then I solved the double integral of (u^4)sinvcosv(5u^4) dudv. u is from 0-->1 and v is from 0-->pi/2

My final answer came out to be pi/12, but it's wrong. Can anyone help?
