Math Problem Statement

Find the flux of \( F(x, y, z) = (3xy^2, 3x^2y, z^3) \) out of the sphere of radius 8 centered at the origin. Hint: Use spherical coordinates and be mindful of the orientation.

Solution

The image you've provided is related to finding the flux of the vector field F(x,y,z)=(3xy2,3x2y,z3)\mathbf{F}(x, y, z) = (3xy^2, 3x^2y, z^3) out of a sphere of radius 8 centered at the origin, using spherical coordinates.

From the setup, you’re given the integral for flux in spherical coordinates: 0π02π08f(θ,ϕ)ρ2sinθdρdθdϕ\int_{0}^{\pi} \int_{0}^{2\pi} \int_{0}^{8} f(\theta, \phi) \, \rho^2 \sin \theta \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi You need to find the value of the integral.

The flux value given in the image is 78643.278643.2, and it appears the limits of integration for θ\theta and ϕ\phi are set correctly as θ\theta ranges from 0 to π\pi, and ϕ\phi ranges from 0 to 2π2\pi, with ρ\rho running from 0 to 8 (the radius of the sphere).

If you want to go over any further details about spherical coordinates, flux calculation, or work through any part of the process, feel free to ask!
