Parabolic cylinder coordinates
Prove (9.4) in the following way. Using (9.2) with, show that
. Similarly, show that
and ∇. Let
in that order form a right-handed triad (so that
, etc.) and show that
. Take the divergence of this equation and, using the vector identities (h) and (b) in the table at the end of Chapter 6, show that
. The other parts of (9.4) are proved similar.
Let be the tensor in . This is a -rank tensor and so has components. Most of the components are zero. Find the nonzero components and their values. Hint: See discussion after .
For the point mass m we considered in (4.2) to (4.4), the velocity is so the kinetic energy is.Show that T can be written in matrix notation as where I is the inertia matrix, is a column matrix, and is a row matrix with elements equal to the components of
