ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you may use divergence thm as it is a closed surface

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Oh this is exactly what I am learning :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\iint_S \vec{F}\cdot \vec{n}dS = \iiint_D \nabla \cdot \vec{F} dV\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divergence I haven't learnt yet. I know Stoke's and Green's. Next week i will learn Divergence.. And the teacher said to use Stoke. I am not being able to find the normal vector to the surface.. Oh in divergence we have direct formula.:O

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes you can derive divergence theorem from stokes theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please tell me how to find the unit normal, next week after learning divergence, i will surely try this sum using Gauss divergence theorem. But for now I should not use it. @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

\[\vec n = \frac{ \nabla f }{\sqrt{ |\nabla f| }}\]

@Jhannybean the surface is given as the surface bdd by the planes x=0,x=1;y=0,y=1,z=0,z=1 which is a cube .. How to get the expression for f?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

I'm kind of new on this topic as well...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont think so.. @Jhannybean

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

your surface just contains a set of 6 planes, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

unit normals are just the unit vectors ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

unit normals for front and back faces : \(\hat{i}, -\hat{i}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are considering the projection on the yz plane?
