1. By considering each component of the vector A show that [tex]\iint A(u.n)ds = \iiint{(u.nambla)A+A(nambla.u)}dV[/tex] (A,u and n are vectors)



Homework Equations





3. Let A = ai + bj + ck. L.H.S: [tex]\iint ai (u.n)ds + \iint bj (u.n)ds +\iint ck (u.n)ds[/tex]
R.H.S. = [tex]\iiint(u.nambla)ai dV+ \iiint(u.nambla)bj dV+ \iiint(u.nambla)ck dV + \iiinta(nambla.u)i dV ...[/tex]


Sorry my latex is all over the place maybe just ignore this

That gradient symbol is called "nabla." "nambla" is something else entirely.
