Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating trigonometric functions within the context of cylindrical coordinates, specifically related to a cylinder system. Participants are attempting to clarify the original poster's question regarding the sine and cosine functions in this framework.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are questioning the clarity of the original poster's inquiry and suggesting that more context about the cylinder is needed. There are mentions of cylindrical coordinates and the relationship between sine and cosine functions, particularly in the context of equations like sin(x) + cos(x) = sin(2x).

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants providing insights into cylindrical coordinates and the nature of the problem. However, there is no explicit consensus or resolution, as the original poster's question remains somewhat unclear.

Contextual Notes

There are indications that the original poster may not have provided sufficient details about the specific cylinder or the parameters involved in their calculations, which is affecting the clarity of the discussion.

i got to find the sin and cos of cylinder. in the cylinder system please help me
 
Physics news on Phys.org
your question is not clear jerina.
 
i got to find the Cylindrical coordinates :s sorry
 
I'm sorry,I think it deals with higher mathematical trigonometry.I know few about sin & cos but like sinx & cosx and there calculation like how to find the reasonable range of x ;in sinx+cosx=sin2x

I'm guessing that you need to find the cylindrical coordinates for a cylinder, but you haven't told us anything about the cylinder you're working with. A point in cylindrical coordinates is an ordered triple of numbers, (r, [tex]\vartheta[/tex], z).

For a vertical cylinder of radius a whose center axis lies along the z-axis, the equation is very simple: r = a. Every point (r, [tex]\vartheta[/tex], z) on this cylinder will have an r value of a.

Like the first one. The second one shows spherical coordinates.
