v=(r2cosθ) r∧+(r2cosϕ) θ∧+r2 cosθsinϕϕ∧

using as your volume one octant of the sphere of radius R(Fig. 1.48). Make sure you include the entiresurface. [Answer:Ï€R4/4]

Short Answer

Expert verified

The left and right side of gauss divergence theorem is satisfied and is equal toπR44 .

Step by step solution

01

Define the given information

Write the given vector function as,

v=r2cosθ rÂì+r2cosϕ θÂì−r2cosθsinϕ ϕÂì

02

Define the divergence in spherical coordinates

The integral of derivative of a function f(x,y,z) over an open surface area is equal to the volume integral of the function,∫∇⋅v⋅ dτ=∮sv⋅ da.

The divergence of vector function Fr, θ, ϕ in spherical coordinates is

∇Fr, θ, ϕ=1r2∂r2F1∂r+1rsinθ∂sinθF2∂θ+1rsinθ∂F3∂ϕ

Here, r, θ, ϕare the spherical coordinates.

03

Compute divergence of the function F

The given function isv=r2cosθ rÂì+r2cosϕ θÂì−r2cosθsinϕ ϕÂì . The divergence of vector v is computed as follows:

∇⋅v=1r2∂r2vr∂r+1rsinθ∂sinθ vθ∂θ+1rsinθ∂vϕ∂ϕ=1r2∂r2r2cosθ∂r+1rsinθ∂sinθ r2cosϕ∂θ+1rsinθ∂−r2cosθ sinϕ∂ϕ=4rcosθ+rcosϕcotθ−rcotθcosϕ=4rcosθ

Thus, the divergence of the function is ∇⋅v=4rcosθ.

04

 Compute the left side of gauss divergence theorem

The volume of integration is octant of radius R, where θ and ϕ ranges from 0 to π2.

The surface integral of vector v→, is computed as:

∫∇v⋅ dτ=∫0R∫0π/2∫0π/24rcosθ r2dr sinθ dθ dϕ=4∫02r3dr∫0π/2cosθsinθdθ∫0π/2dϕ=4R44sin2θ20π/2π2=πR44 ……. (1)

05

 Compute the right side of gauss divergence theorem

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

∮vâ‹…da=∮ivâ‹…da+∮iivâ‹…da++∮iiivâ‹…da. For surface (i), ∮ivâ‹…da=∮vrâ‹…da, da1=R2sinθdθdϕ rÂì.

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

∮iv⋅da=∫0π2∫0π2R2cosθR2sinθdϕ=R4∫z=0π2cosθ sinθ∫0π2dϕ=R4sin2θ20π2π2=πR44

For left surface, ∮iivâ‹…da=∮vϕ⋅da, da2=r dr dθ θÂì, where Ï•=0.

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

∮iivâ‹…da=∫0R∫0Ï€2r2cosθsinÏ•r dr dθ ϕÂì=∫0R∫0Ï€2r2cosθsin0r dr dθ ϕÂì=0

For back surface, ∮iiivâ‹…da=∮vϕ⋅da,da2=r dr dθ ϕÂì , where Ï•=Ï€2.

Thus, the areal vector for surface (iii) is computed as,

∮iivâ‹…da=∫0R∫0Ï€2−r2cosθsinÏ•r dr dθ ϕÂì=−∫0R∫0Ï€2r2cosθsinÏ€2r dr dθ ϕÂì=−∫0R∫0Ï€2r3cosθ dr dθ ϕÂì=−∫0Rr3dr ∫0Ï€2cosθ â¶Ä‰dθ 

Solve further as,

∮iiv⋅da=−R44sinθ0π2=−14R4

For bottom surface, ∮ivvâ‹…da=∮vθ⋅da, da2=r dr dϕ θÂì, where θ=Ï€2.

Thus, the areal vector for surface (iv) is computed as,

∮ivvâ‹…da=∫0R∫0Ï€2r2cosÏ•r dr dϕ θÂì=∫0Rr3 dr∫0Ï€2cosϕ dϕ ϕÂì=−14R4

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

∮v⋅da=∫(i)v⋅da+∫(ii)v⋅da+∫(iii)v⋅da+∫(iv)v⋅da=πR44−0−14R4+14R4=πR44 …… (2)

From equations (1) and (2), the left and right side of gauss divergence theorem is satisfied and is equal toπR44 .
