The general vector surface area element d S can be written in components as ( d y d z , d x d z , d x d y ) , and so the integral is I = ∬ Ω ( x 2 + y 2 + z 2 ) 2 3 x d y d z + y d z d x + z d x d y = ∬ Ω r 3 r d S = − ∬ Ω ∇ r 1 d S Since r − 1 is Harmonic on R 3 \ { 0 } , Green's Theorem tells us that I = − ∬ C ϵ ∇ r 1 d S where C ϵ is the sphere with radius ϵ centred at the origin, and hence I = ∬ C ϵ r 2 d S = ∬ C ϵ ϵ 2 ϵ 2 d Ω = 4 π where the final integral d Ω is with respect to solid angle.
