Step 4 of 5

Determine the value of .

Substitute for in equation (1).

If the point is not rotating as the point is outside the sphere and thus no velocity or velocity
vectors can be defined for points outside the sphere.

The required quantity is the velocity field; it is the vector quantity of the velocity determined.

The sphere rotates along the z axis in the clockwise direction; the velocity vector is the tangential
vector to the circular path, the point P is tracing in the plane.

The tangential vector to the circular path in the plane is the azimuthal angle vector; the
direction of the azimuthal angle vector depends on the direction of rotation of the sphere.

The azimuthal angle vector is positive for a clockwise rotating circular path, as the point of
interest along with the sphere is also rotating with in the clockwise direction, the exact
direction of the velocity vector is .

Thus, the velocity vector is .

Demonstrate the ambiguity that results when the
cross product is used to find the angle between two
vectors by finding the angle between A = 3ax − 2ay
+ 4az and B = 2ax + ay − 2az. Does this ambiguity
exist when the dot product is used?
