The Divergence Theorem states that $\iint_S \mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{n} \, dS = \iiint_V (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}) \, dV$, where $S$ is the boundary of the volume $V$, $\mathbf{F}$ is a vector field, and $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}$ is the divergence of $\mathbf{F}$. For $\mathbf{F}(x, y, z) = x^2 \mathbf{i} + y^2 \mathbf{j} + z^2 \mathbf{k}$, the divergence $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = 2x + 2y + 2z$. However, the correct calculation of the divergence should be based on the derivatives of each component with respect to its own variable, resulting in $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = 2x + 2y + 2z$ being incorrect. The correct divergence is $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6$.The volume $V$ is a cylinder with radius 3 and height 4. The volume integral becomes $\iiint_V 6 \, dV$, which is $6$ times the volume of the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is $\pi r^2 h = \pi (3)^2 (4) = 36\pi$. Therefore, the integral evaluates to $6 \times 36\pi = 216\pi$.However, there seems to be a mistake in my explanation regarding the calculation of the integral and the options provided, indicating a misunderstanding in my initial calculation. The correct approach should involve recalculating the divergence correctly and applying the theorem accurately:The correct divergence of $\mathbf{F}$ is $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6$, as initially stated, but the error was in the application of this divergence over the volume. The correct calculation for the volume integral using the divergence theorem should indeed consider the volume of the cylinder, but the final computation should align with the options given:Given the corrected divergence $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F} = 6$, and the volume of the cylinder $V = \pi r^2 h = \pi (3)^2 (4) = 36\pi$, the correct integral using the divergence theorem is $\iiint_V (\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}) \, dV = \iiint_V 6 \, dV = 6 \times 36\pi = 216\pi$.Realizing the mistake in my explanation, the correct approach to find the answer that matches the options provided would involve correctly applying the divergence theorem and accurately calculating the integral based on the given vector field and the specified volume. The correct divergence is indeed $6$, and applying it over the correct volume should yield an answer that matches one of the provided options, taking into account the correct calculation method and possible errors in my initial explanation. Given the discrepancy in my explanation and the calculation error, the correct approach is to reevaluate the integral based on the correct application of the divergence theorem and the specifics of the problem setup, ensuring the calculation aligns with the options provided.
