Chapter 10: Q17P (page 496)

Repeat Problems 8.15and 10.16above for the (u,v)coordinate system if x=2u-v , y=u-2v.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of matrix is .

Step by step solution

01

Given Information:

The equations are mentioned below.

x=2u

y=u-2v

02

Definition of covariant basis vector:

A covariant vector, also known as a cotangent vector, has components that co-vary when the basis changes. That is, the components must be converted using the same matrix as the base matrix change.

03

Find the value:

The equations are mentioned below.

x=2u

y=u-2v

Position vector is,

Covariant basis vectors are mentioned below.

The metric tensor and inverse of metric tensor is given below.

Hence, the value of matrix is.

Do Problem 5 for the coordinate systems indicated in Problems 10 to 13. Parabolic.

Do Problem 3 in spherical coordinates; compare the results with Problem 8.3.

Interpret the elements of the matrices in Chapter 3, Problems 11.18 to11.21, as components of stress tensors. In each case diagonalize the matrix and so find the principal axes of the stress (along which the stress is pure tension or compression). Describe the stress relative to these axes. (See Example 1.)

Following what we did in equations (2.14) to (2.17), show that the direct product of a vector and a 3rd-rank tensor is a 4rh-rank tensor. Also show that the direct product of two 2nd-rank tensors is a 4rh-rank tensor. Generalize this to show that the direct product of two tensors of ranks m and n is a tensor of rank m + n .
