Cartesian to Cylindrical

The Cartesian to Cylindrical calculator converts Cartesian coordinates into Cylindrical coordinates.  

INSTRUCTIONS:  Enter the following:

• (V): Vector V

Cylindrical Coordinates (r,Θ,z):  The calculator returns magnitude of the XY plane projection (r) as a real number, the angle from the x-axis in degrees (Θ), and the vertical displacement from the XY plane (z) as a real number.  Note: the angle Θ is in degrees.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

3D Vector Functions

• k⋅V - scalar multiplication
• V/k - scalar division
• V / |V| - Computes the Unit Vector
