interpret the solution of each problem 

2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9 

these vector fields are somewhat similar. calculate the divergence of V. Compare the results. Interpret the answer with a drawing in each case. 

a) V=(x, y, z)

b) problem 1.16

c) use a 1/r dependence in 1.16

d) use a 1/r^3 dependence in 1.16
