Express the cylindrical unit vectors s^,Ï•^,z^ in terms of x^,y^,z^ (that is, derive Eq. 1.75). "Invert" your formulas to get x^,y^,z^in terms of s^,Ï•^,z^

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is obtained thatxÁåž=cosψsÁåœ-sinψϕÁåœ,yÁåœ=sinψsÁåœ+cosψsÁåœ,andzÁåœ=zÁåœ.

Step by step solution

01

Define cylindrical coordinates

In cylindrical coordinates, the point is represented as P=(s,Ï•,z) , where P=(s,Ï•,z) is distance of point P from z axis, the azimuthal angle, and coordinate of point P on z-axis respectively, as shown in following figure:

From the figure, write:

x=scosϕy=ssinϕz=z

The unit vectors in cylindrical coordinates are:

sÁåœ=cosÏ•xÁåœ+sinÏ•yÁåœÏ•Áåœ=-sinÏ•xÁåœ+cosÏ•yÁåœzÁåœ=zÁåœ

The displacement vector is given as dl=dxx^+dyy^+dzz^.Differentiate transformation equation with respect to s .

dx=cosÏ•dsdy=sinÏ•dsdz=0Thedisplacementvectornowbecomes:dl=³¦´Ç²õÏ•dsxÁåœ+²õ¾±²ÔÏ•dsyÁåœ+0zÁåœ=ds³¦´Ç²õÏ•xÁåœ+²õ¾±²ÔÏ•yÁåœCompareaboveequationwithdl=dssÁåœ,wegetsÁåœ=³¦´Ç²õÏ•yÁåœ+²õ¾±²ÔÏ•yÁåœ

02

Step: 2 Compute unit vector s^ .

The displacement vector is given asdlϕ=dxx^,dyy^,dzz^ . Differentiate transformation equation with respect to ϕ.

dx=ssinϕdϕdy=scosϕdϕdz=0

The displacement vector now becomes:

dl=ssinϕdϕx^+scosϕdϕy^+0z^=ds(ssinϕdϕ)x^+(scosϕdϕ)y^

Compare above equation with dl=sdϕϕ^ , we get,

s^=(-sinϕ)x^+(cosϕ)y^
