v=r2sinϕr^+4r2cosθθ^+r2tanθϕ^

using the volume of the "ice-cream cone" shown in Fig. 1.52 (the top surface is spherical, with radius R and centered at the origin). [Answer: πR4/12(2π+33)]

Short Answer

Expert verified

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

Step by step solution

01

Describe the given information.

The divergence of vector function vr, θ, ϕin spherical coordinates is

∇vr, θ, ϕ=1r2∂r2vr∂r+1rsinθ∂sinθvθ∂θ+1rsinθ∂vϕ∂ϕ

Here, r, θ, ϕare the spherical coordinates.

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 vr, θ, ϕin spherical coordinates is

∇vr, θ, ϕ=1r2∂r2vr∂r+1rsinθ∂sinθvθ∂θ+1rsinθ∂vϕ∂ϕ

Here r, θ, ϕare the spherical coordinates.

03

Step: 3 Compute divergence of the function F.

The given function is v=r2sinθ r∧+4r2cosθ θ∧+r2tanθ ϕ∧and the del operator is defined as ∇=∂∂xi+∂∂yj+∂∂zk. The divergence of vector v is computed as follows:

∇⋅v=1r2∂r2r2sinθ∂r+1rsinθ∂sinθ4r2cosθ∂θ+1rsinθ∂r2tanθ∂ϕ=1r24r3sinθ+1rsinθ4r2cos2θ+1rsinθ∂r2tanθ∂ϕ=4rsinθsin2θ+cos2θ−sin2θ=cos2θsinθ

Thus, the divergence of the function is ∇⋅v=cos2θsinθ.

04

Compute the left side of gauss divergence theorem

The volume mentioned has the radius R units, θvaries from 0 to π6,ϕvaries from 0 to 2π.

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

∫∇v⋅ dτ=∫0R∫0π/6∫02π4rcos2θsinθr2sinθ drdθ dϕ =∫0R4r3dr∫0π/6cos2θ dθ∫02πdϕ =2πR4θ2+sin2θ40π/6=2πR4π12+sin604

Solve further as,

∫∇v⋅ dτ=2πR4π+33/212=πR46π+332……. (1)

05

Compute the right side of gauss divergence theorem

The right side of the gauss divergence theorem is ∮v⋅da.The surface area of surface of cone has radius R units, θvaries from 0 to π6, ϕvaries from 0 to 2π.Thus the right side can be written as:

For surface (i), ∮vâ‹…da=∮vrâ‹…da, da=R2sinθdÏ•dθrÂì.

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

∮v⋅da=∫0π6∫02πR4sin2θdϕdθ=2πR4∫0π6sin2θdθ=2πR4θ2−14sin2θ0π6=2πR4π12−sin604

Solve further as,

∮v⋅da=2πR4π−33212=πR46π−332

The surface area of curved surface of cone has radius varying from 0 to R units,θis equal toπ6, ϕvaries from 0 to 2π.

For curve surface of cone (ii), ∮iivâ‹…da=∮vθ⋅da,da=rsinθdÏ•dr θÂì.Thus, the areal vector for surface (ii) is computed as,

∮iiv⋅da=∫0R∫02π4r3cosθsinθdϕdr=∫0Rr3dr∫02πcosθsinθdϕ=∫0Rr3dr32π=3πR42

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

∮v⋅da=∫(i)v⋅da+∫(ii)v⋅da=πR46π−332+3πR42=πR46π−332+33=πR46π+332

…… (2)

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