Answer

$h_p=\sinΦ \cos \theta$; $h_Φ=p \cosΦ \cos \theta$; $h_{\theta}=-p \sinΦ \sin \theta$

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to take the first partial derivative of the given function $h$ with respect to $p$, treating $Φ$ and $θ$ as constants: $h_p=\sinΦ \cos \theta$ Now, we repeat the process for the other partial derivatives: $h_Φ=p \cosΦ \cos \theta$ $h_{\theta}=-p \sinΦ \sin \theta$
