Although the gradient, divergence, and curl theorems are the fundamental integral theorems of vector calculus, it is possible to derive a number of corollaries from them. Show that:

(a)∫v∇Tdτ=∮sT da. [Hint:Let v = cT, where c is a constant, in the divergence theorem; use the product rules.]

(b)∫v∇×vdτ=∮sv× da. [Hint:Replace v by (v x c) in the divergence

theorem.]

(c)∫vT∇2U+∇T⋅∇Udτ=∮sT∇U ⋅da . [Hint:Let in the

divergence theorem.]

(d)∫vU∇2T+∇U⋅∇Vdτ=∮sU∇T ⋅da. [Comment:This is sometimes

called Green's second identity; it follows from (c), which is known as

Green's identity.]

(e) ∫S∇T×da=∮PT ⋅dl[Hint:Let v = cT in Stokes' theorem.]

According to the Gauss divergence theorem The integral ofdivergenceof a functionfx,y,z over an closed surface area is equal to the surfaceintegral of the function ∫∇v⋅ dτ=∮sv⋅ da. According to thestokestheorem, the integral of divergence of a function fx,y,zover an open surface area is equal to the line integral of the function ∫∇×v⋅ da=∮lv⋅ dl.

Prove expression in part (a).

The divergence theorem is defined as ∫∇v⋅dτ=∮v⋅da.Substitute cT for v into ∫∇v⋅dτ=∮v⋅daas follows:

Apply the product rule (i) ,∇fA=f∇⋅A+A⋅∇f in equation (1),

∫∇cT⋅dτ=∮cT⋅da∫T∇⋅c+c⋅∇T⋅dτ=∮cT⋅da ……….. (2)

As c is a constant, so its divergence is 0, that is, ∇⋅c=0.

Substitute 0 for ∇⋅c into equation (2)

∫T0+c⋅∇T⋅dτ=∮cT⋅da∫c⋅∇T⋅dτ=∮cT⋅dac∫∇T⋅dτ=c∮T⋅da∫∇T⋅dτ=∮T⋅da

Apply the rule  ∇A×B=B∇×A−A∇×B into equation (3)

∫v â¶Ä‰c∇×v−v∇×câ‹…dÏ„=∫sv×c da 

As c is a constant, so it’s curl is 0, that is, ∇×c=0.

Substitute 0 for ∇×c into equation∫v â¶Ä‰c∇×v−v∇×câ‹…dÏ„=∫sv×c da
