Let $\vec { a } = \alpha _ { 1 } \vec { i } + \alpha _ { 2 } \vec { j } + \alpha _ { 3 } \vec { k }$ be a nonzero constant vector and let $\vec { r } = x \vec { i } + y \vec { j } + z \vec { k }$ .Suppose S is the sphere of radius one centered at the origin.There are two (related) reasons why $\int _ { S } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = 0$ .Select them both.

• A) \(\int _ { S } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = 0\) because \(\vec { a } \times \vec { r } = \overrightarrow { 0 }\) .
• B) \(\int _ { S } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = 0\) because \(\operatorname { div } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) = 0\) .
• C) \(\int _ { S } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = 0\) because \(\vec { r }\) is parallel to the
• \(d \vec { A }\) element everywhere on S and so
• \(\vec { a } \times \vec { r }\) is perpendicular to
• \(d \vec { A }\) on S.
• D) \(\int _ { S } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = 0\) because \(\vec { a } \times \vec { r }\) is a constant vector field.
• E) \(\int _ { S } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = 0\) because \(\int _ { H } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = Q > 0\) and
• \(\int _ { L } ( \vec { a } \times \vec { r } ) \cdot d \vec { A } = - Q\) , where H is the upper unit hemisphere and L is the lower unit hemisphere.

Definitions:

Accumulated Value

Refers to a value that increases over time, often resulting from the aggregation of multiple increments in a process or calculation.

Preset Value

A predetermined number or setting that is used to initiate an action or define a condition in a process or system.

Time Delay

A deliberate pause introduced in a process or system, usually used to ensure proper timing or synchronization between components or operations.
