Express the cylindrical unit vectors in terms of (that is, derive Eq. 1.75). "Invert" your formulas to get in terms of
Use the cross product to find the components of the unit vector perpendicular to the shaded plane in Fig. 1.11.
Draw a circle in the xyplane. At a few representative points draw the vector v tangent to the circle, pointing in the clockwise direction. By comparing adjacent vectors, determinethe signofandAccording to Eq. 1.41, then, what is the direction of ? Explain how this example illustrates the geometrical interpretation of the curl.
Compute the line integral of
around the path shown in Fig. 1.50 (the points are labeled by their Cartesian coordinates).Do it either in cylindrical or in spherical coordinates. Check your answer, using Stokes' theorem. [Answer:3rr /2]
Find the transformation matrix R that describes a rotation by 120° about an axis from the origin through the point (1, 1, 1). The rotation is clockwise as you look down the axis toward the origin.
