The position of a point in cylindrical coordinates is specified by (4,2π/3,3). What is the location of the point
In cartesian coordinates?
In spherical coordinates?

Respuesta :

(a) The location of the point in Cartesian coordinates is (-2, 2√3, 3)

(b) The location of the point in spherical coordinates is (5, 2π/3, 0.93).

What is the Cartesian coordinates?

The Cartesian coordinates of the points is calculated as follows;

Points = (s, θ, z) = (4, 2π/3, 3)

x = scosθ

x = 4 x cos(2π/3)

x = 4 x cos(120)

x = 4 x (⁻¹/₂) = -2

y = s x sin(θ)

y = 4 x sin(2π/3)

y = 4 x sin(120)

y = 4 x (√3)/2 = 2√3

z = z = 3

Cartesian coordinates = (-2, 2√3, 3)

For spherical transformation

Points, = (p, θ, φ)

[tex]p = \sqrt{s^2 + z^2} \\\\p = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = 5[/tex]

θ = 2π/3

[tex]\phi = cos^{-1} (\frac{z}{\sqrt{s^2 + z^2} } )\\\\\phi = cos^{-1} (\frac{3}{5} ) = 0.93 \ rad[/tex]

spherical coordinates = (5, 2π/3, 0.93)
