1. = 2 + 2 ..(i)

tan = .(ii)

from (i) 2 = 2 + 2 .(iii)

from (ii) = tan ..(iv)

substitute for y in (iii)

2 = 2 + 2 tan2
2 = 2 (1 + tan2 )
2 = 2 sec 2
= sec
= cos

From equation (iv) = tan

Substituting for x in equation (iii)

expressing the nabla operator in the circular cylindrical co-ordinate system;

sin

in Cartesian form:

substituting for
, and
, and x,y and z in equation (vii)

= ( cos sin ) + ( cos sin ) +
cos sin
cos sin cos sin
= + + +
cos cos sin sin
but, sin = cos
therefore:

2. = 2 + 2 + 2 ..(i)

tan = ..(ii)
2 +2
tan = (iii)
from (i), 2 = 2 + 2 + 2
from (iii), 2 + 2 = 2 tan2 (iv)

substituting for x2 and y2 in (i):

= 2 tan2 + 2
2 = 2 sec 2
= sec
= cos (v)

substitute for z in (iv)

2 + 2 = 2 cos2 tan2
2 + 2 = 2 sin2 (vi)
from (ii), = tan
substitute for y in (vi)
2 + 2 tan2 = 2 sin2
sec = sin
= sin cos ..(vii)

substitute for x in (ii)

=
tan
= tan

substitute for x in (viii) from (vii)

sin
= sin cos
cos
= sin sin ..(ix)

then for the vector field

= sin cos + sin sin + cos
for natural basis in terms of
sin cos sin sin cos
= = + +

= sin cos + sin sin + cos

= sin cos + sin sin + cos

for natural basis in terms of

= cos cos + cos sin sin


(cos cos + cos sin sin )
= =

| |

= cos cos + cos sin sin

for natural basis in terms of

= sin sin + sin cos

| | = sin2 sin2 + sin2 cos2


| | = sin2 (1)


| | = sin



sin sin + sin cos
thus, =

= = sin + cos
| | sin

obtaining a matrix from the natural basis of , and :
sin cos sin sin cos
(cos cos cos sin sin ) () = ( )
sin cos 0
the augmented matrix is as shown below:
sin cos sin sin cos
(cos cos cos sin sin )
sin cos 0

using Crammers rule:

= sin cos (0 + sin cos ) sin sin (0 sin sin ) + cos (cos cos2 + cos sin2 )
= sin2 cos 2 + sin2 sin2 + cos 2
=1

sin sin sin

1 = | cos sin sin | = (sin cos ) sin sin ( sin ) + cos ( cos sin cos )
cos 0

1 = sin cos sin + cos cos

1
= = sin cos + cos cos sin

sin cos cos
2 = |cos cos sin | = sin cos ( sin ) ( sin sin ) + cos ( cos cos + sin )
sin 0
2 = sin sin + cos + sin cos

2
= = sin sin + sin cos + cos

 sin cos sin sin
3 = |cos cos cos sin | = sin cos ( cos sin cos ) sin sin ( cos cos + sin ) + (cos cos 2 + cos sin2 )
sin cos
3 = cos sin (sin2 + cos2 ) + (sin cos cos sin sin cos sin cos )

= = cos sin

absence of the component in the final term calls for use of a partial derivative for the second
term, resulting into;
