Answer

$\dfrac{4\pi}{3}$

Work Step by Step

The Divergence Theorem states that $\iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}=\iiint_Ediv \overrightarrow{F}dV $ Here, $S$ is a closed surface and $E$ is the region inside that surface. $div F=\dfrac{\partial (2)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial (2)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial z}=0+0+1=1$ The Divergence Theorem states that $\iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}=\iiint_Ediv \overrightarrow{F}dV $ Here, we have $\iiint_E div F dV$ is the volume of the region $E$. In the given problem, $E$ lies inside a sphere having radius $4$.Thus, The volume of the region E is equal to $\iiint_E dV=\dfrac{4\pi(1)^3}{3}=\dfrac{4\pi}{3}$ Hence, $\iint_S F \cdot n dS=\iiint_Ediv \overrightarrow{F}dV =\dfrac{4\pi}{3}$
