Hey guys. I want to rotate point which is expressed in cyllindrical coordinates P (r,Lambda,z) counter CW around x axes for 90 degrees. So, i want to get equations for transformation from cyllindrical to cartesian when cyllinder (and of course my point P) is rotated. Standard equations for cyllindrical coordinates are: x=rcos(Lambda) y=rsin(Lambda) z=z So after rotation around x for 90 degrees (using rotation matrix Rx) I got following relation for rotated cyllinder. x=rcos(Lambda) y=-z z=rsin(Lambda) Are the equations correct? I assumed that only cyllinder rotated and axes remain same.

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, that looks good.

OpenStudy (rajahaseeb):

yes fine
