- Plz solve part carrow_forwardA net is dipped in a river. Determine the flow rate of water across the net if the velocity vector field for the river is given by = (x - y, z + y + 9, z) and the net is decribed by the equation y = V1-x - z, y 2 0, and oriented in the positive y- direction.

Then { B(r) = A(r) = √x² + y2 is the distance to the z-axis and B is a constant that depends on the current strength I and the spacing of where r = the turns of wire.

The constant k is called the conductivity, which has metric units of J/m-s-K or W/m-K. A temperature function T for a region D is given below. Find the net outward heat flux SSF•nds= - kff triple integral. Assume that k = 1. T(x,y,z)=110e-x²-y²-2². D is the sphere of radius a centered at the origin.
