Step 1
Similar to circle sphere is a two dimensional space where the set of points that are at the same distance r from a given point in a three dimensional space. In analytical geometry with a center and radius is the locus of all points is called sphere
Given:
The upper hemisphere of the sphere is x2+y2+z2=1
Formula used:
Volume = (div F)dv
Step 2
V=(0, 0, z)
÷, F=ddx(0)+ddy(0)+ddz(z)
On solving the value,
÷ F=0+0+1=1
Step 3
Volume = (÷ F)dv
Where,
dv=43πr3
x2+y2+z2=1=r2
Where, r=1
43πr2
Substituting the value of r, then the required value is 4π3

Step 1
Let v=zk be the velocity a fluid in R3.
We need to calculate the flow rate in m3s through the upper hemishere, s0, of the sphere x2+y2+z2=1
First, we need to parametrize the upper hemisphere surhere surface by using the spherical coordinates:
G(ϕ, θ)=x, y, z
G(ϕ, θ)=cosϕsinθ, sinϕsinθ, cosϕ
for, 0ϕπ2, 0θ2π
Step 2 Now we need to find the tangents Yϕ & Tθ and the pointing normal n:
Tϕ=ϕ
=sinϕsinθ, cosϕsinϕ, 0
Tθ=θ
=cosϕcosθ, sinϕcosϕ, cosθ
n(Tϕ×Tθ)=|ijksinϕsinθcosϕsinϕ0cosϕcosθsinϕcosϕcosθ|
n=(cosϕsin2θ, sinϕsin2θ, cosϕsinθ)
Step 3
Since we got the donward n, we need to convert it in the upward:
n=(cosϕsin2θ,sinϕsin2θ,cosϕsinθ)
n=sinϕ(cosϕsinθ,sinϕsinθ,cosphu)
We can also calculate v×n before inserting in the formula to simplify it:
v×n=0, 0, z×sinϕcosϕsinθ,sinϕsinθ,cosϕ
=0, 0, cosϕ×sinϕcosϕsinθ,sinϕsinθ,cosϕ
