Answer

$V(E)=\dfrac{1}{3} \iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}$

Work Step by Step

Divergence Theorem: $\iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}=\iiint_Ediv \overrightarrow{F}dV $ Here, $S$ shows a closed surface. The region $E$ is inside that surface. We have $div F=\dfrac{\partial P}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial q}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial r}{\partial z}=1+1+1=3$ Here, we have $\iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}=\iiint_E (3)dV $ This implies that $\iiint_E dV=\dfrac{1}{3} \times \iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}$ Thus, we have $V(E)=\dfrac{1}{3} \iint_S \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{S}$ (Verified)
