\small \triangledown.E = -7.2(N/Cm)

From the divergence theorem we have

\small \int \int E.ds=\int \int \int \triangledown E.dV

the flux can be calculated by integrating -7.2 y over the volume of the cube. That equals \small Q/\epsilon _{o}

. \small Q/\epsilon _{o} = \int dx\int dy\int dz(-7.2y)

\small = \int dx\int dz \int dy(-7.2y)

right side y of the cube y = 4.1 and left side of the cube y = 4.1-2.1 = 2.0

\small Q/\epsilon _{o}= 2.1 \times 2.1 \times \left [ -3.6y^{2}\right ]^{2.0}_{4.1}

= -3.6 x 2.1 x 2.1 x ((4.1)2 - (2.0)2) N/Cm2

\small Q/\epsilon _{o} = -203.37Nm^{2}/C  

Q = (8.854x10-12C2/Nm2) x (-203.37 Nm2/C)

the net charge contained by the cube

Q = -1.8x10-9C
