Answer

$u_r=\cos{\theta}\cos{(r\cos{\theta})}$, $u_\theta=-r\sin{\theta}\cos{(r\cos{\theta})}$.

Work Step by Step

$u(r,\theta)=\sin{(r\cos{\theta})}$ In order to find $u_r$ we treat $\theta$ as a constant and differentiate with respect to $r$. $u_r=\cos{\theta}\cos{(r\cos{\theta})}$ In order to find $u_\theta$ we treat $r$ as a constant and differentiate with respect to $\theta$. $u_\theta=-r\sin{\theta}\cos{(r\cos{\theta})}$
