ASSIGNMENT I (15%)

Part I Vector Review and Coordinate Transformation

1. A plane is flying on a bearing of at 340mph. Wind is blowing at a bearing of at

50mph. Find the ground speed and bearing of the airplane.
2. If find
a) The scalar projections of A on B
b) The vector projection of B on A
c) The unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing A and B
3. Calculate the angles that vector makes with the x, y, and z axes.
√
4. Transform the given vector to cylindrical and spherical
√ √

coordinates. Also evaluate A at P (0,-4, 3) in three coordinate systems.

5. Let vector
a) Transform A into rectangular system and calculate its magnitude at point (3, -4, 0)
b) Transform A into spherical system and calculate its magnitude at point (3, -4, 0)
c) The magnitude calculate in (a) and (b) are the same or not? Why? Explain it.
6. Let vector . At point P(2, 30 ) find:
a) a unit vector along H
b) the component of H parallel to
c) the component of H normal to
d) the component H tangential to
