(c)The curl of v is∇·v=0 .

Step by step solution

01

Define the divergence in spherical coordinates

The integral of the derivative of a function over an open surface area is equal to the volume integral of the function.

∮(∇·v)·dτ=∮vda.

Consider the vector point function F(x,y,z)=F1(x,y,z)i+F2(x,y,z)j+F3(x,y,z)k,where F1,F2,F3are components of F(x,y,z)
.

The divergence of functionF(x,y,z)is computed as follows:

∇F(x,y,z)=∂F1∂x+∂F2∂y+∂F3∂z

Here,∂F1∂x,∂F2∂y,∂F3∂z are the partial derivatives of functionF(x,y,z) with respect tox,y,z .

The divergence of vector function in spherical coordinates is

.∇F(r,θ,ϕ)=1r2∂(r2F1)∂r+1rsinθ∂(sinθF2)∂θ+1rsinθ∂F3∂ϕ

Here, r,θ,ϕare the spherical coordinates.

02

Step: 2 Compute divergence of the function F

(a)

The given function is v=s(2+sin2θ)s+(ssinθcosθ)ϕ+3zz^ , and the del [S1] operator is defined as . The divergence of vector v is computed as follows:

∇·v=∇F(r,θ,ϕ)=1s∂(svs)∂s+1s∂(vϕ)∂θ+1rsinθ∂(vz)∂z=1s∂(s(s(2)+sin2θ)))∂s+1s∂(ssinϕcosϕ)∂ϕ+∂(3z)∂z=1s∂(s2(2)+sin2θ))∂s+1s∂(ssinϕcosϕ)∂ϕ+∂(3z)∂z=4+2sin2ϕ+cos2ϕ-sin2+3.

Solving further

∇.v=4+(sin2ϕ+cos2ϕ)-3=4+(1)+3=8

Thus, the divergence of the function is∇.v=8

03

Determine the total areal vector

(b)

The cylinder mentioned has a height of 5 units and a radius of 2 units, as shown below:

The surface integral of vector , along the path (i) is computed as follows:

∫(∇v)·dτ=∫05∫0n/2∫028sdsdϕdz=8∫02sds∫0n/2dϕ∫05dz=8(2)π55=40π

……. (1)

The right side of the gauss divergence theorem is ∮v·da. The surface area has the top and bottom areas. Thus, the right side can be written as follows:

∮v·da=∮(i)v·da+∮(ii)v·da++∮(iii)v·da.forsurface(i)∮(i)v·=∮vr·da,a=andda1=sdϕdzz^

Thus, the areal vector for surface (i) is computed as follows:

∮(i)v·da=∫z-05∫ϕ-0n2s2(2+sin2ϕ)dφdz=∫z-052ϕ+ϕ2-sin2ϕ40π2dz=45π2(z)05 =25π

For surface (ii) ∮(i)v·da=∮vz·da, and da2=sdϕdzz^,where z = 5 .

Thus, the areal vector for surface (ii) is computed as follows:

∮(ii)v·da=∫z-02∫ϕ-0n2(3z)sdϕdz=15π

For surface (iii) ∮(iii)v·da=∮v·da,and da3=sdsdϕz^,where z = 0 .

Thus, the areal vector for surface (ii) is computed as follows:

∮(iii)v·da=∫z-02∫ϕ-0n2(-3z)sdϕdz=0

Thus, the total areal vector for the surface area is computed as follows:

∮(i)v·da=∮(i)v·da+∮(ii)v·da+∮(iii)v·da=25π+15π+0=40π

…… (2)

From equations (1) and (2), the left and right side of the gauss divergence theorem is satisfied.

04

Compute the curl of vector v

(c)

The curl of vector is calculated as follows:

∇×v=1s∂vz∂ϕ-∂vϕ∂ϕs^∂vz∂z-∂vz∂sϕ^+1s1∂ssvϕ-∂vs∂ϕz^=1s∂vz∂ϕ-∂(ssinϕcosϕ)∂ϕs^+∂(s(2+sin2ϕ)∂z-∂((3z))∂sϕ^=+1s1∂s(s(ssinϕcosϕ))-∂(s(2+sin2ϕ))∂ϕz^=1s×0-0s^+0+0ϕ^1s2ssinϕcosϕ-2ssinϕcosϕz^=0

Therefore, the curl of v is∇×v=0
