Flux. Multivariable Calculus [closed]
$begingroup$
Find the flux of $F(x, y, z) = langle-x, -y, z^3rangle$ through the surface $S$ when $S$ is the part of the cone
$$z =sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$$
that lies between the planes $z = 1$ and $z = 3$, oriented upwards.
- If I use the usual method, Im getting $1712pi/15$
- If I use divergence theorem, Im getting $1916pi/15$
Is the divergence theorem not valid in here? thanks

Sure, the divergence theorem is valid. But you're applying it to a region whose boundary consists of not only that surface $S$, but also two disks: $Sigma_1 = {x^2+y^2le 1, z=1}$ and $Sigma_2 = {x^2+y^2le 3, z=3}$. In addition, be careful with the orientations on those disks.

Thanks for the reply. How do you identify how many surface it have? I'm still confused about simple solid regions.

Start by drawing a sketch; your artwork needn't be perfect.
