Suppose that f is a function of two variables (y and z) only. Show that the gradient f=(f/y)y^(f/z)z^transforms as a vector under rotations, Eq 1.29. [Hint: (f/y)=(f/y)(f/y)+(f/z)(z/y),and the analogous formula for f/z. We know that localid="1654595255202" y=测肠辞蝉蠒+锄蝉颈苍蠒and z=-ycos+zcos;鈥漵olve鈥 these equations for y and z (as functions of localid="1654325243865" yand z(as functions of yand z), and compute the needed derivatives f/y,z/y, etc]

The matrix f=cossin-sincos=(f)proves that鈥檚 localid="1654325782650" fis used to transform the vector under the rotation.

Step by step solution

01

Write the expression for the coordinates.

Consider the change in coordinates isf(y,z)f(y,z).

y=ycos+zsin2zcos=-ysin+zcos

Here, the variables of the function are y and z. The shifted coordinates are yand zare the changed coordinates. The angle of rotation is .

Rewrite the equations as,

role="math" localid="1654596205298" ysin=ycossin+zsin2zcos=-ysincos+zcos2

Add the equation for the two coordinates as,

ysin=ycos=(ycossin+zsin2)+(-ysincos+zcos2)=z.......(1)

Rewrite the coordinates as,

ycos=ycos2+zsincoszsin=-ysincos+zcossin

Subtract the two equations as,

ycos-zsin=ycos2+zsincos-(-ysincos+zcossin)=y........(2)

Determine the partial derivatives of the equation (1).

zy=sinzz=cos

Determine the partial derivatives of the equation (2).

yy=cosyz=-sin

02

Determine the proof that ∇f transform as the vector under rotation.

Write the expression for the gradient of the function with respect to y.

fy=fy.yy+fz.zy

Write the equation for the gradient in terms of the partial derivative as,

fy=fycos+fzsin

Write the expression for the gradient in terms of the z.

fz=fz.yz+fz.zz=fy-sin+fzcos

Write the expression for the gradient in the matrix form.

f=cossin-sincosf

Thus, the matrix f=cossin-sincosfproves that鈥檚 the fis used to transform the vector under the rotation.
