Question #81820

the coordinates of a point relative to a reference point are given as (1km, 6km, 2km) of the cylindrical coordinate system was employed calculate the longitude angle corresponding to this point

Expert's answer

The relationship between Cartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems is as follows
x=r cos⁡〖φ, y=r sin⁡〖φ, z=z〗 〗
Thus, the longitude angle
φ=arctan⁡〖y/x=arctan⁡〖6/1=80.5°〗 〗
