In the text and problems so far, we have found the e vectors for Question: Using the results of Problem 1, express the vector in Problem 4in spherical coordinates.
Observe that a simpler way to find the velocity in (8.10)is to divide the vectordsin (8.6)by. Complete the problem to find the acceleration in cylindrical coordinates.
Let . Find , the a vectors, and for the u, v coordinate system and show that it is not an orthogonal system. Hint: Show that the vectors are not orthogonal, and that contains du dv terms. Write the matrix and observe that it is symmetric but not diagonal. Sketch the lines and observe that they are not perpendicular to each other.
Verify for a few representative cases that gives the same results as a Laplace development. First note that if , then is just . Then try letting an even permutation of , and then try an odd permutation, to see that the signs work out correctly. Finally try a case when (that is when two of the indices are equal) to see that the right hand side of is zero because you are evaluating a determinant which has two identical rows.
