Lecture
Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates
Description
This lecture introduces cylindrical and spherical coordinates as alternative systems to Cartesian coordinates, particularly useful in mechanics for situations with specific symmetries. The instructor defines the coordinates, explains their relationship with Cartesian coordinates, and details the coordinate lines and unit vectors associated with each system. The lecture also covers the projection of vectors onto the coordinate systems and the calculation of projections on the Cartesian axes.
