Question
part 3 of 3
In cases where we have radial symmetry
about the origin (usually called spherical sym-
metry), it is most useful to use spherical co-
ordinates (r, 0, 0). In the spherical coordinate
system, a point is defined by: its radial dis-
tance from the origin r; the azimuthal angle
o, defined as the angle between the +x-axis
and the projection on the xy-plane of the line
drawn from the origin to the point; the po-
lar angle 0, defined as the angle between the
+z axis and the line drawn from the origin
to the point. Note that for the polar angle,
0 ≤ 0 ≤ T.

Question: You are given a solid sphere of
radius R centered at the origin. What are the
Cartesian coordinates of an arbitrary point
within the sphere in terms of spherical quan-
tities. You will need to use the figure to
determine the x,y, and z coordinates in terms
of their spherical counterparts.
