Problem 3.

34 Transform the following vectors into cylindrical coordinates and

then evaluate them at the indicated points:
(a) A = x (x + y) at P1 = (1, 2, 3),
(b) B = x (y x) + y (x y) at P2 = (1, 0, 2),
(c) C = x y2 /(x2 + y2 ) y x2 /(x2 + y2 ) + z 4 at P3 = (1, 1, 2),
(d) D = R sin + cos + cos2 at P4 (2, /2, /4),
(e) E = R cos + sin + sin2 at P5 = (3, /2, ).
Solution: From Table 3-2:
(a)
A = (r cos sin )(r cos + r sin )
= r r cos (cos + sin ) r sin (cos + sin ),
p

P1 = ( 12 + 22 , tan1 (2/1), 3) = ( 5, 63.4 , 3),

A(P1 ) = (r 0.447 0.894) 5 (.447 + .894) = r 1.34 2.68.

(b)
B = (r cos sin )(r sin r cos ) + ( cos + r sin )(r cos r sin )
= r r(2 sin cos 1) + r(cos2 sin2 ) = r r(sin 2 1) + r cos 2 ,
p
P2 = ( 12 + 02 , tan1 (0/1), 2) = (1, 0 , 2),
B(P2 ) = r + .

P3 = ( 12 + (1)2 , tan1 (1/1), 2) = ( 2, 45 , 2),

C(P3 ) = r 0.707 + z 4.
(d)

D = (r sin + z cos ) sin + (r cos z sin ) cos + cos2 = r + cos2 ,

P4 = (2 sin ( /2), /4, 2 cos ( /2)) = (2, 45 , 0),

D(P4 ) = r + 1 .
