State the divergence theorem for a vector field u(x) in a region V of R3 bounded by a smooth surface S.
Let f(x,y,z) be a homogeneous function of degree n, that is, f(kx,ky,kz)=knf(x,y,z) for any real number k. By differentiating with respect to k, show that
x⋅∇f=nf
Deduce that
∫VfdV=n+31∫Sfx⋅dA(†)
Let V be the cone 0⩽z⩽α,αx2+y2⩽z, where α is a positive constant. Verify that (†) holds for the case f=z4+α4(x2+y2)2.
