Chapter 1 1.1. Given the vectors M = 1a x +4a y 8a z and N =8a x +7a y a z, find: a) a unit vector in the direction of M +N. M +N =1a x 4a y +8a z +16a x +14a y 4a z = (6, 1, 4) Thus (6, 1, 4) a = =(.9,.6,.14) (6, 1, 4) b) the magnitude of 5a x + N M: (5,, )+(8, 7, ) (, 1, 4) = (4, 5, ), and (4, 5, ) =48.6. c) M N (M + N): ( 1, 4, 8) (16, 14, 4) (, 11, 1) = (1.4)(1.6)(, 11, 1) =( 58.5, 19, 9) 1.. Given three points, A(4,, ), B(,, 5), and C(7,, 1): a) Specify the vector A extending from the origin to the point A. A =(4,, ) = 4a x +a y +a z b) Give a unit vector extending from the origin to the midpoint of line AB. The vector from the origin to the midpoint is given by M =(1/)(A + B) =(1/)(4, +, +5)=(1, 1.5,.5) The unit vector will be m = (1, 1.5,.5) =(.5,.8,.89) (1, 1.5,.5) c) Calculate the length of the perimeter of triangle ABC: Begin with AB =( 6,, ), BC =(9,, 4), CA =(, 5, 1). Then AB + BC + CA =7.5 + 1.5 + 5.91=. 1.. The vector from the origin to the point A is given as (6,, 4), and the unit vector directed from the origin toward point B is (,, 1)/. If points A and B are ten units apart, find the coordinates of point B. With A =(6,, 4) and B = 1 B(,, 1), we use the fact that B A = 1, or (6 B)a x ( B)a y (4 + 1 B)a z =1 Expanding, obtain 6 8B + 4 9 B +4 8 B + 4 9 B +16+ 8 B + 1 9 B = 1 or B 8B 44=. ThusB = 8± 64 176 = 11.75 (taking positive option) and so B = (11.75)a x (11.75)a y + 1 (11.75)a z =7.8a x 7.8a y +.9a z 1

So R AB =(1.7, 1, 1) (1.71, 4.7, ) =(., 5.7, 4) and therefore a AB = (., 5.7, 4) =(.,.8,.57) (., 5.7, 4) b) a vector in cylindrical coordinates at A directed toward B: a AB a ρ =. cos 7.8 sin 7 =.77. a AB a φ =. sin 7.8 cos 7 =.8. Thus. a AB =.77a ρ.8a φ +.57a z 6
1.18. (continued) c) a unit vector in cylindrical coordinates at B directed toward A: Use a BA =(,,.8,.57). Then a BA a ρ =. cos( )+.8 sin( )=.4, and a BA a φ =. sin( )+.8 cos( )=.71. Finally, a BA =.4a ρ +.71a φ.57a z 1.19 a) Express the field D =(x + y ) 1/ (xa x + ya y ) in cylindrical components and cylindrical variables: Have x = ρ cos φ, y = ρ sin φ, and x + y = ρ. Therefore D = 1 ρ (cos φa x + sin φa y ) Then D ρ = D a ρ = 1 ρ [cos φ(a x a ρ ) + sin φ(a y a ρ )] = 1 [ cos φ + sin φ ] = 1 ρ ρ and D φ = D a φ = 1 ρ [cos φ(a x a φ ) + sin φ(a y a φ )] = 1 [cos φ( sin φ) + sin φ cos φ] = ρ Therefore D = 1 ρ a ρ b) Evaluate D at the point where ρ =,φ =.π, and z = 5, expressing the result in cylindrical and cartesion coordinates: At the given point, and in cylindrical coordinates, D =.5a ρ. T o express this in cartesian, we use D =.5(a ρ a x )a x +.5(a ρ a y )a y =.5 cos 6 a x +.5 sin 6 a y =.41a x +.9a y 1.. Express in cartesian components: a) the vector at A(ρ =4,φ =4,z = ) that extends to B(ρ =5,φ = 11,z = ): We have A(4 cos 4, 4 sin 4, ) = A(.6,.57, ), and B(5 cos( 11 ), 5 sin( 11 ), ) = B( 1.71, 4.7, ) in cartesian. Thus R AB =( 4.77, 7., 4). b) a unit vector at B directed toward A: Have R BA =(4.77, 7., 4), and so a BA = (4.77, 7., 4) =(.5,.76,.4) (4.77, 7., 4) c) a unit vector at B directed toward the origin: Have r B =( 1.71, 4.7, ), and so r B = (1.71, 4.7, ).

Now R CD =( 4, 6, 9) and R ρ = R CD a ρ = 4 cos(.7) 6 sin(.7) = 6.66. Then R φ = R CD a φ = 4 sin(.7) 6 cos(.7) =.77. So R CD = 6.66a ρ.77a φ +9a z b) a unit vector at D directed toward C: R CD =(4, 6, 9) and R ρ = R DC a ρ = 4 cos( 14.) + 6 sin( 14.) = 6.79. Then R φ = R DC a φ =4[ sin( 14.)]+6 cos( 14.)=.4. So R DC = 6.79a ρ +.4a φ 9a z Thus a DC =.59a ρ +.1a φ.78a z c) a unit vector at D directed toward the origin: Start with r D =( 1, 4, ), and so the vector toward the origin will be r D = (1, 4, ). Thus in cartesian the unit vector is a =(.,.87,.44). Convert to cylindrical: a ρ =(.,.87,.44) a ρ =. cos( 14.) +.87 sin( 14.) =.9, and a φ =(.,.87,.44) a φ =.[ sin( 14.)] +.87 cos( 14.) =, so that finally, a =.9a ρ.44a z. 1.. A field is given in cylindrical coordinates as [ ] 4 F = ρ + (cos φ + sin φ) a ρ + (cos φ sin φ)a φ a z +1 where the magnitude of F is found to be: F = [ 16 F F = (ρ +1) + 4 ρ (cos φ + sin φ)+ +1 Sketch F : a) vs. φ with ρ = : in this case the above simplifies to F(ρ =) = Fa = [8 + 4(cos φ + sin φ)] 1/ b) vs. ρ with φ =, in which: [ 16 F(φ =) = Fb = (ρ +1) + 4 ρ +1 + c) vs. ρ with φ =45, in which [ F(φ =45 16 ) = Fc = (ρ +1) + 4 ρ +1 + Plots are shown on page 14. 1..

Performing point transformations to cartesian coordinates, these become A(x =.5, y =.95, z = ) and B(x =.1, y =.8, z =4.5). Taking A and B as vectors directed from the origin, the requested length is Length = B A = (.69,.88, 1.5) =.1 1.4. At point P (, 4, 5), express the vector that extends from P to Q(,, 1) in: a) rectangular coordinates. R PQ = Q P =5a x 4a y 6a z Then R PQ = 5 + 16 + 6 = 8.8 b) cylindrical coordinates. At P, ρ =5,φ = tan 1 (4/ ) = 5.1, and z =5. Now, R PQ a ρ =(5a x 4a y 6a z ) a ρ = 5 cos φ 4 sin φ =6. R PQ a φ =(5a x 4a y 6a z ) a φ = 5 sin φ 4 cos φ =1.6 Thus R PQ =6.a ρ +1.6a φ 6a z and R PQ = 6. +1.6 +6 =8.8 c) spherical coordinates. At P, r = 9+16+5= 5=7.7, θ = cos 1 (5/7.7) = 45, and φ = tan 1 (4/ ) = 5.1. R PQ a r =(5a x 4a y 6a z ) a r = 5 sin θ cos φ 4 sin θ sin φ 6 cos θ =.14 R PQ a θ =(5a x 4a y 6a z ) a θ = 5 cos θ cos φ 4 cos θ sin φ ( 6) sin θ =8.6 R PQ a φ =(5a x 4a y 6a z ) a φ = 5 sin φ 4 cos φ =1.6 9

(continued) d) Find the length of the longest straight line that lies entirely within the surface: This will be from A(r =,θ =5,φ= )tob(r =4,θ =,φ=6 )or A(x = sin 5 cos,y = sin 5 sin,z = cos 5 ) to B(x = 4 sin cos 6,y = 4 sin sin 6,z = 4 cos ) or finally A(1.44,.5, 1.9) to B(1., 1.7,.46). Thus B A =(.44, 1.1,.18) and Length = B A =.5 1.8. a) Determine the cartesian components of the vector from A(r =5,θ = 11,φ= )tob(r = 7,θ =,φ =7 ): First transform the points to cartesian: x A = 5 sin 11 cos = 4.4, y A = 5 sin 11 sin = 1.61, and z A = 5 cos 11 = 1.71; x B = 7 sin cos 7 =1., y B = 7 sin sin 7 =.9, and z B = 7 cos =6.6. Now R AB = B A =5.6a x +4.9a y +7.77a z b) Find the spherical components of the vector at P (,, 4) extending to Q(,, 5): First, R PQ = Q P =( 5, 5, 1). Then at P, r = 4+9+16=5.9, θ = cos 1 (4/ 9)=4., and φ = tan 1 ( /) = 56..Now So finally, R PQ a r = 5 sin(4 ) cos( 56. ) + 5 sin(4 ) sin( 56. ) + 1 cos(4 )=.9 R PQ a θ = 5 cos(4 ) cos( 56. ) + 5 cos(4 ) sin( 56. ) 1 sin(4 )= 5.8 R PQ a φ = ( 5) sin( 56. ) + 5 cos( 56. )= 1.9 R PQ =.9a r 5.8a θ 1.9a φ c) If D =5a r a θ +4a φ, find D a ρ at M(1,, ): First convert a ρ to cartesian coordinates at the specified point.

Express the unit vector a x in spherical components at the point: a) r =,θ = 1 rad, φ =.8 rad: Use a x =(a x a r )a r +(a x a θ )a θ +(a x a φ )a φ = sin(1) cos(.8)a r + cos(1) cos(.8)a θ +( sin(.8))a φ =.59a r +.8a θ.7a φ 11
1.9 (continued) Express the unit vector a x in spherical components at the point: b) x =,y =,z = 1: First, transform the point to spherical coordinates. Have r = 14, θ = cos 1 ( 1/ 14) = 15.5, and φ = tan 1 (/) =.7. Then a x = sin(15.5 ) cos(.7 )a r + cos(15.5 ) cos(.7 )a θ +( sin(.7 ))a φ =.8a r.a θ.55a φ c) ρ =.5, φ =.7 rad, z = 1.5: Again, convert the point to spherical coordinates. r = ρ + z = 8.5, θ = cos 1 (z/r) = cos 1 (1.5/ 8.5)=59., and φ =.7 rad = 4.1. Now a x = sin(59 ) cos(4.1 )a r + cos(59 ) cos(4.1 )a θ +( sin(4.1 ))a φ =.66a r +.9a θ.64a φ 1..

Now R AB = R B R A =(.6,.,.), and so R AB =44.4. b) R AC, given C(r =,θ =9,φ =45 ). Again, converting C to cartesian, obtain x C = sin(9 ) cos(45 )=14.14, y C = sin(9 ) sin(45 )=14.14, and z C = cos(9 )=. So R AC = R C R A =(7.7, 7.7, 17.), and R AC =.. c) the distance from A to C on a great circle path: Note that A and C share the same r and φ coordinates; thus moving from A to C involves only a change in θ of 6. The requested arc length is then [ ( )] π distance = 6 =.9 6 1
