If S = 12 ar + 5 a + a at point (2,,/2), and = 2 ar + 0.5 a at point (5,/2,/2), find a. S + T, b. S T, c. S T, d. unit vector perpendicular to S T, and e. the angle between S and T. 4. Division operation is not defined in vector algebra, because it leads to multiple possible solutions and other complications. In the following two examples, we come as near to division as possible with vectors, and demonstrate the multiplicity of solutions possible: a. If A X = c, show that X = (cA/A2) + B, where B is any vector perpendicular to A. b. If A X = C, show that X = (C A)/A2 + kA, where k is any arbitrary scalar. 5. A point has coordinates (3,4,5). Transform the coordinates to spherical coordinate system. 6. A point has coordinates (1,/2,-3). Transform the coordinates to Cartesian coordinate system. 7. If A = (z2 - 1) a - z cos a + 2z2 az, and B = r2 cos ar +2r sin a, find a. A and B at point T(-3,4,1), b. Vector component, in cylindrical coordinate system, of A along B at T. c. Unit vector, in spherical coordinate system, perpendicular to both A and B at T. 8. H = z cos a + e-2 sin(/2) a + 2 az at point (1,/3,0). Find a. H ax, b. H a, c. Vector component of H normal to surface = 1, and d. Scalar component of H tangential to the plane z = 0. 9.
