Rectangular Coordinate System

01 03
To describe Vector P’ (x+dx, y+dy, z+dz)
These must be given, When we increase each coordinate values
• Specific lengths of P by a differential amount, we obtain 3
• Directions slightly displayed planes, P’. The total six
• Angles planes become rectangular paralledpiped.
• Projections
• Coordinate system

Coordinate system
02 04
Rectangular parallelepiped
• Three axis – x, y, z
• Volume dv = dx dy dz
• Right-handed coordinate system
• Area dS = dx dy, dy dz, dz dx
• P must be in x, y, z plane
• Distance dL
• Distance is measured from Origin to x, y, z
