Determine the flux of the vector field $\vec{F} = x^3\hat{i} - 2y\hat{j} + 7z^2\hat{k}$ across a cone $z = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} + 3$ that lies in between the planes $z = 4$ and $z = 8$ by using Gauss's theorem.

Step 1
The cone is given by $z = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} + 3$. The planes are $z = 4$ and $z = 8$. We want to find the flux of $\vec{F}$ across the cone using Gauss's theorem. Gauss's theorem states that the flux of a vector field $\vec{F}$ across a closed surface $S$ is equal Show more…

Use the Divergence Theorem to compute the net outward flux of the following fields across the given surfaces $S$. $\mathbf{F}=\langle x, y, z\rangle ; S$ is the surface of the cone $z^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2},$ for $0 \leq z \leq 4,$ plus its top surface in the plane $z=4$

Divergence Theorem
Use the divergence theorem to compute flux integral $\iint_{S} \mathbf{F} \cdot d \mathbf{S}, \quad$ where $\mathbf{F}(x, y, z)=x+y \mathbf{j}+z^{4} \mathbf{k}$ and $S$ is a part of cone $z=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ beneath top plane $z=1$ oriented downward.
