FlG - 56 Thus the difference of the two double
integrals is seen to have the value of the
surface integral of P cos y taken over the entire surface 2, and so we
have the result:

Similar formulas could have been obtained if we had started with
partial derivatives with respect to x or y, the region V being now
projected on the (y, z)-plane or the (x, z)-plane. The results in all
three cases can be collected as follows :

where we have replaced the letter 2, as referring to the bounding
surface, by the letter S.
If we had used the inner normal, the sign of each right-hand side
would have been reversed.
On adding the three equations (2) together, we get:
