Compute the flux of the vector field, F, through the surface, S. vector F= 7xi + yj + zk and S is the part of the surface z + 4x + 2y = 12 in the first octant oriented upward
help me please @ganeshie8 :)
help me @perl
@eliassaab can you help me out professor
have you sketched the plane on an x, y, z coordinate system?
yea
@dan815 can you help me please
The normal vector to the plane z + 4 x + 2 y = 12 is n = {4, 2, 1} and the field is {7 x, y ,z} First compute their dot product
The dot product {4, 2, 1} . {7 x, y ,z}= 28x+ 2y + z You have to integrate (as surface integral) 28 x + 2 y + z over the part of the plane in the first octant
Knowing that z = 12 - 4 x -2y, then 28 x + 2 y + z= 28 x + 2 y + 12 - 4 x -2y= 12 + 24 x The length of the normal vector n \(\sqrt{21}\) Can you finish it now?
The last step is to compute this integral \[ \int_0^3 \left(\int_0^{6-2 x} \sqrt{21} (24 x+12) \, dy\right) \, dx=324 \sqrt{21} \]
that's the same thing I got but it's wrong
@eliassaab
I think it is right, unless you did not state the problem correctly
see :/
The problem can be wrongly programmed
how would I use this formula on this problem
@eliassaab
the answer is just 324 don't need the length. I used the flux formula
