g 1.32 Two points on a sphere of radius 3 are given as P1(3,0,30) and P2(3,45,45): (a) Find the position vectors of P1 and P2. (b) Find the vector connecting P1 (tail) to P2 (head). (c) Find the position vectors and the vector P1P2 in cylindrical and Cartesian coordinates.

a) P.V  of is OP₁ = [ 1.5i + 0j + 2.6k ],   P.V  of is OP₂ = [ 1.5i + 1.5j + 2.12k ]

b) Vector connecting P₁ to P₂ is [ 0i + 1.5j + 0.48k ]  

c) cylindrical coordinates are (1.5, π/2, 0.48)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

r = 3

P₁ ( 3, 0°, 30° ),   P₂ ( 3, 45°, 45° )

a)

P.V of P₁

x = rcos∅sin∅ = 3(cos0°) ( sin30°) = (3 × 1 × 0.5) = 1.5

y = rsin∅sin∅  = 3(sin0°) (sin30°)   = (3 × 0 × 0.5) = 0

z = rcos∅        = 3(cos30°)             = ( 3 × 0.866)  = 2.6

∴ P.V  of is OP₁ = [ 1.5i + 0j + 2.6k ]

P.V of P₂

x = rcos∅sin∅ = 3(cos45°) ( sin45°) = (3 × 0.7071 × 0.7071) = 1.5

y = rsin∅sin∅  = 3(sin45°) (sin45°)   = (3 × 0.7071 × 0.7071) = 1.5

z = rcos∅        = 3(cos45°)                 = ( 3 × 0.7071)            = 2.12

∴ P.V  of is OP₂ = [ 1.5i + 1.5j + 2.12k ]

b)

Vector connecting P₁ to P₂ is given by

OP₂ - OP₁ = [ 1.5i + 1.5j + 2.12k ] - [ 1.5i + 0j + 2.6k ]

= [ 0i + 1.5j + 0.48k ]  

c)

P₁P₂ → = [ 0i + 1.5j + 0.48k ]  = [ 1.5j + 0.48k ]  

so in a cylindrical coordinate, it should be

r = √(o² + 1.5²) = 1.5

∅ = tan⁻¹[y/π] = π/2

z = 0.48

cylindrical coordinates are (1.5, π/2, 0.48)

step-by-step explanation:

the areas of two similar triangles are 18 cm2 and 8 cm2. one of the sides of the first triangle is 4.5 cm. what is the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle?
