Problem 3.

24 Convert the coordinates of the following points from spherical to


cylindrical coordinates:
(a) P1 = (5, 0, 0),
(b) P2 = (5, 0, ),
(c) P3 = (3, /2, 0).
Solution:
(a)
P1 = (r, , z) = (R sin , , R cos ) = (5 sin 0, 0, 5 cos 0)
= (0, 0, 5).
(b) P2 = (r, , z) = (5 sin 0, , 5 cos 0) = (0, , 5).
(c) P3 = (r, , z) = (3 sin 2 , 0, 3 cos 2 ) = (3, 0, 0).
