i need help transforming this equation into cylindrical coordinates...
w = omega
i = i hat
j = j hat
k = k hat
r is a vector
r(t) = Asin(wt)i + Bsin(wt)j + (Ct - D)k where w, A, B, C and D are constants.
i, j, and k are throwing me off...i know they are components of x, y and z...and i know xhat = cos(phi ro{hat}) - sin(phi phi{hat} likewise for yhat swapping sin and cos...
