Show that the nine quantities (which are the Cartesian components of where V is a vector) satisfy the transformation equations for a Cartesian -rank tensor. Show that they do not satisfy the general tensor transformation equations as in . Hint: Differentiate orpartially with respect to, say,. You should get the expected terms [as in ] plus some extra terms; these extraneous terms show that is not a tensor under general transformations. Comment: It is possible to express the components of correctly in general coordinate systems by taking into account the variation of the basis vectors in length and direction.
Show that the fourth expression in (3.1) is equal to . By equations (2.6) and (2.10) , show that , so
Compare this with equation (2.12) to show thatis a Cartesian vector. Hint: Watch the summation indices carefully and if it helps, put back the summation signs or write sums out in detail as in (3.1) until you get used to summation convention.
Show that the sum of the squares of the direction cosines of a line through the origin is equal to 1 Hint: Let be a point on the line at distance 1 from the origin. Write the direction cosines in terms of .
As in Problem 2, complete Example 5.
Show that in 2 dimensions (say the x , y plane), an inversion through the origin (that is ) is equivalent to arotation of the plane about the axis. Hint:Compare Chapter 3, equation (7.13) with the negative unit matrix.
