. Use Stokess Theorem to evaluate where and S
is the surface of the paraboloid

11 Let S be an imaginary closed surface in an ideal fluid which bounds a domain

. D. The conservation of mass states that the rate of change of the mass of fluid
in D equals the rate at which fluid enters D across S. Given that the mass

changes at rate (where is the density)and the

rate at which mass is flowing out D across S is ,it

follows that:
