1. (25 pts.) Consider the spherical coordinate system (R,?,?) shown below. Problem 1. The relation between the Cartesian and spherical coordinates are x1?=Rcos(?)sin(?)x2?=Rsin(?)sin(?)x3?=Rcos(?)? (a) Determine the scale factors h1?,h2?, and h3? (b) Starting from the definition of the Curl of a Vector in generalized curvilinear coordinates, ?×a=?i=13??j=13??k=13?(hj?hk??ijk????j??[a?k??hk?]e^i?) show that the Curl of a Vector in spherical coordinates is ?×a=++?[Rsin(?)1?(????[sin(?a??)]????a???)]e^R?(Rsin(?)1????aR???R1??R??[Ra??])e^??R1?(?R??[Ra??]????aR??)e^??? where aR?,a??, and a?? are components of the vector in the spherical coordinate system.
