Use Divergence Theorem to Compute the Flux Integral Just a work check

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of the Divergence Theorem to compute the flux integral for the vector field F, defined by the divergence as div F = 3x² + 3y² + 3z². The integral is transformed into spherical coordinates, resulting in the triple integral 3∫₀²π∫₀ᵖ∫₀¹ p⁴ sin(φ) dp dφ dθ, which evaluates to 2.4π. Participants confirm the correctness of this calculation.

Alright so I found div F=3x2+3y2+3z2

The integral then becomes the triple integral of the divergence of F times the derivative of the volume.

Changing into spherical coordinates, the integral becomes 3\int_{0}^{2\pi}\int_{0}^{\pi}\int_{0}^{1}p^{4}sin{\phi}dpd{\phi}d{\theta} which ends up equaling 2.4{\pi}.

Is this correct?
