Evaluate with the help of divergence theorm the integral \iint_S[xz^2 dy dz+(x^2y-z^3)dz dx+(2xy+y^2z)dx dy]\,, where S is the entire surface of the hemispherical region bounded by z=\sqrt{(a^2-x^2-y^2)},z=0\,.


Let V be the volume enclosed by S.Hence S is the point of the sphere given.

By divergence theorem,\iint_S[xz^2dy dz+(x^2y-z^3)dz dx+(2xy+y^2z)dx dy]\,

=\iiint_V[\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(xz^2)+\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(x^2y-z^3)+\frac{\partial}{\partial z}(2xy+y^2z)]dV\,

=\iiint_V(z^2+x^2+y^2)dV\, --(1)

To simplify the triple integral,we use the spherical polar coordinates (r,\theta,\phi)\, so that x=r\sin\theta\cos\phi,y=r\sin\theta\sin\phi,z=r\cos\theta,dV=(dr)(r d\theta)(r\sin\theta d\phi)=r^2\sin\theta dr d\theta d\phi\, --(2)

In order to cover the volume,the limits are r=0 to a \theta=0,\frac{\pi}{2},\phi=0,2\pi\,

Here \iiint_V(x^2+y^2+z^2)dV\,

=\int_{r=0}^{a}\int_{\theta=0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi} r^2\cdot r^2\sin\theta dr d\theta d\phi\,

=\int_{\theta=0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}[\frac{r^5}{5}]_0^a \sin\theta d\theta d\phi\,

=\frac{a^5}{5}\int_{\theta=0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}\sin\theta d\theta d\phi\,

=\frac{a^5}{5}\int_{\theta=0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\theta[\phi]_{0}^{2\pi} d\theta\,

=\frac{2\pi a^5}{5}\int_{\theta=0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sin\theta d\theta\,

=\frac{2\pi a^5}{5}[-\cos\theta]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}=\frac{2\pi a^5}{5}\, --(3)

Using (3) in (1),we see that the value of the given surface integral is \frac{2\pi a^5}{5}\,
