Examples

  1. Find the mass of a bowl in the shape of a hemisphere \[ x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = a^2, \qquad z\le 0 \] if the density is $\delta(x,y,z)=1-z.$
  2. Integrate $G(x,y,z)=xyz$ over the surface $C$ of the unit cube.
  3. Find the flux of \[ \F = yz\i - xz\j -xy \k \] through the parabolic cylinder \[ y=x^2,\quad 0\le x\le 1,\quad 0\le z\le 3, \] oriented so that the normal vector points in the negative $y$ direction.
  4. Find the flux of \[ \F = x^2\i - yz\k \] outward through the surface cut from the cylinder \[ x^2 + z^2 = 4,\quad z\ge 0 \] by the planes $y=0$ and $y=3.$
  5. Find the center of mass of a conical band \[ z^2 = x^2 + y^2,\qquad 1\le z\le 3 \] with density $\delta = \frac1z.$
