Compute the outward flux of the vector field across the boundary of the right cylinder with radius 6 with bottom edge at height z = -3 and upper edge at z = 7.
Note: The vectors in this field point outwards from the origin, so we would expect the flux across each face of the cylinder to be positive.

Part 1 - Using a Surface Integral
First we parameterize the three faces of the cylinder.

Note: in the following type as theta.

The bottom face: where , and


The top face: where , and


The lateral face: where , and


Then (mind the orientation)
