Continue Problem 8.15 to find the gijmatrix and the contravariant basis vectors. Check your result by solving the given equations for u and v in terms of x and y, and finding the contravariant basis vectors using Problem 12. On your Problem 8.15 sketches of the lines u=const. and v=const., also sketch the covariant and contravariant basis vectors. Observe that the covariant basis vectors lie along the lines u=const. and v=const. and the contravariant basis vectors lie along the normal to these lines.

Q17P

In equation (5.16), show that if Tjkis a tensor (that is, not a pseudotensor), then Viis a pseudovector (axial vector). Also show that if Viis a pseudotensor, then Tjkis a vector (true or polar vector). You know that if role="math" localid="1659251751142" Viis a cross product of polar vectors, then it is a pseudovector. Is its dual Tjka tensor or a pseudotensor?

Show that the transformation equation for a 2nd-rank Cartesian tensor is equivalent to a similarity transformation. Warning hint: Note that the matrix C in Chapter 3 , Section 11 , is the inverse of the matrix A we are using in Chapter 10 (comparer'=Arandr=Cr'). Thus a similarity transformation of the matrix T with tensor componentsTij isT'=ATA-1. Also, see 鈥淭ensors and Matrices鈥 in Section 3 and remember that A is orthogonal.

As in (4.3) and (4.4), find the y and z components of (4.2) and the

other 6 components of the inertia tensor. Write the corresponding components

of the inertia tensor for a set of masses or an extended body as in (4.5).
