면적분과 플럭스

대칭성에 의해 무게중심 $(\bar x,\bar y,\bar z)$는 $\bar x=\bar y=\bar z$를 만족한다. 구면좌표를 이용하여 구를 매개변수로 나타내면 다음과 같다.

$$\mathbf{r}(\theta,\varphi) = a\sin\varphi\cos\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}} +a\sin\varphi\sin\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}} +a\cos\varphi\,\hat{\mathbf{k}}$$

그러면

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial \mathbf{r}}{\partial \theta} =-a\sin\varphi\sin\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}+a\sin\varphi\cos\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}}\qquad \frac{\partial \mathbf{r}}{\partial \varphi} =a\cos\varphi\cos\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}+a\cos\varphi\sin\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}} -a\sin\varphi\,\hat{\mathbf{k}} \end{aligned}$$

이므로

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial \mathbf{r}}{\partial \theta}\times\frac{\partial \mathbf{r}}{\partial \varphi} &=\det\left[\begin{matrix} \hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}} & \hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}} & \hat{\mathbf{k}} \\ -a\sin\varphi\sin\theta & a\sin\varphi\cos\theta & 0 \\ a\cos\varphi\cos\theta & a\cos\varphi\sin\theta & -a\sin\varphi \end{matrix}\right] \\ &=-a^2\sin^2\varphi\cos\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}-a^2\sin^2\varphi\sin\theta\,\hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}} -a^2\sin\varphi\cos\varphi\,\hat{\mathbf{k}}\\ \implies \mathrm{d}S&=\left|\frac{\partial \mathbf{r}}{\partial \theta}\times\frac{\partial \mathbf{r}}{\partial \varphi}\right| \,\mathrm{d}\theta\,\mathrm{d}\varphi =a^2\sin\varphi\,\mathrm{d}\theta\,\mathrm{d}\varphi \end{aligned}$$

제1팔분공간에 있는 구면 부분의 겉넓이는 $\frac{1}{8}4\pi a^2=\frac{\pi a^2}{2}$ 이므로

$$\begin{aligned} \bar x=\bar y=\bar z &=\frac{\iint _S z\,\mathrm{d}S}{\iint _S\,\mathrm{d}S} =\frac{1}{\pi a^2/2}\int_0^{\pi/2}\mathrm{d}\theta\int_0^{\pi/2}\mathrm{d}\varphi \ (a^2\sin\varphi)(\overbrace{a\cos\varphi}^{z}) \\ &=\frac{2a}{\pi}\frac{\pi}{2}\int_0^{\pi/2}\mathrm{d}\varphi \ \sin\varphi\cos\varphi =a\bigg[\frac{1}{2}\sin^2\varphi\bigg]_0^{\pi/2} =\frac{a}{2} \end{aligned}$$
