Answer

The cylindrical coordinates is $\left( {r,\theta ,z} \right) = \left( {\frac{3}{2}\sqrt 3 ,\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{3}{2}} \right)$.

Work Step by Step

We have in spherical coordinates $\left( {\rho ,\theta ,\phi } \right) = \left( {3,\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{\pi }{3}} \right)$. The relations between cylindrical and spherical coordinates can be found using rectangular coordinates $x$, $y$, $z$ as in the following: $x = r\cos \theta = \rho \sin \phi \cos \theta $ $y = r\sin \theta = \rho \sin \phi \sin \theta $ $z = \rho \cos \phi $ So, $r = \rho \sin \phi $ and $z = \rho \cos \phi $. Whereas $\theta$ is the same in both cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Convert to cylindrical coordinates: 1. the radial coordinate is $r = \rho \sin \phi = 3\sin \frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{3}{2}\sqrt 3 $ 2. the angular coordinate is the same, $\theta = \frac{\pi }{6}$ 3. the $z$-coordinate satisfies $z = \rho \cos \phi = 3\cos \frac{\pi }{3} = \frac{3}{2}$ Therefore, the cylindrical coordinates is $\left( {r,\theta ,z} \right) = \left( {\frac{3}{2}\sqrt 3 ,\frac{\pi }{6},\frac{3}{2}} \right)$.
