Homework Statement
Find the components of A after a rotation of -45 degrees about X3.
A=(1,1,2)
Homework Equations
[tex]\lambda[/tex]=
(cos[tex]\theta[/tex] 0 -sin[tex]\theta[/tex])
( 0 1 0 )
(sin[tex]\theta[/tex] 0 cos[tex]\theta[/tex])
The Attempt at a Solution
Above is my attempt to show you guys the rotation matrix when rotated about the X3 axis. So my strategy was to plug in -45 degrees into the thetas. Once I got a value for each element in the matrix, I checked to see if A' was equal to A. However, I ended up getting A'=(0,SQRT(2),2). This does not equal A.
Where did I go wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
