  1. The following surface integral is to be evaluated over a sphere for the given steady velocity vector field F = xî + yĵ + zk̂ defined with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system having i, j and k as unit base vectors.
    s ( F.n )dA
    where S is the sphere, x2 + y2 + z3 = 1 and n is the outward unit normal vector to the sphere. The value of the surface integral is
    1. π
    2. 3π/4
Correct Option: A

Use Gauss-Divergence theorem,

I = ∬s

= ∭v ∇.FdV
∇.F = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
∴ I =
