5. The surface integral for a vector field contains the term F. (ru x Tv) for a vector field F and parametrization r(u, v). This arises from a sum that contains the term F. (ru xry)ΔuΔυ. 1 Now imagine that F is the velocity field of a fluid moving across the surface S. Give a geometric interpretation of this triple product term and use this to explain the term "Flux" used to describe the surface integral of a vector field.

![**Surface Integrals and Flux in Vector Fields**
5. The surface integral for a vector field contains the term:
\[ F \cdot (r_u \times r_v) \]
for a vector field \( F \) and parametrization \( r(u, v) \). This arises from a sum that contains the term:
\[ F \cdot (r_u \times r_v)\Delta u \Delta v. \]
Now imagine that \( F \) is the velocity field of a fluid moving across the surface \( S \). Give a geometric interpretation of this triple product term and use this to explain the term "Flux" used to describe the surface integral of a vector field.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F77548912-c51c-4c9d-8b51-f3905a3bec75%2F917c2790-da67-4f83-aaf3-ac87cf02a79d%2Ffk85wss_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
