Gradient

1. Determine the gradient for the following scalar functions


a) S = 4 x 2 e − z + y 3
b) N = r 2 cos2 
c) M = R cos sin 

sides equal to 2 units each and parallel to the Cartesian axis.
b) The integral of   E over the cube’s volume.

6. For the vector field E = rˆ10e − r − zˆ 3z , verify the divergence theorem for the cylindrical region
enclosed by r = 2, z = 0, and z = 4 .
