Find the spherical coordinates for point p and find an


Question:

A point P has rectangular coordinates (1, 0, 2 ) and lies on the surface of a sphere centred on the origin.

i) Find the spherical coordinates for point P.

ii) Find an equation for the surface of the sphere.

iii) Using spherical coordinates write a Matlab program that plots the surface of the sphere.

Submit your code and graph.

i) (x, y, z) = (1, 0, √2)

P = √(x2 + y2 + z2) = √(12 + 02 )+ √22 = √3

Q = tan-1(y/x) = tan-1(0/1) = 0

z = pcos(Φ)  

cos(Φ) = √2/√3

sin(Φ) = 1/√2

ii) x2 + y2 + z2 = P2
