Match the coordinate system with its element of volume. 1. Cartesian   2. Cylindrical   3. Spherical   P. \( r\,dr\,d\theta\,dz \)   Q. \( dx\,dy\,dz \)   R. \( r^{2}\sin\phi\,dr\,d\phi\,d\theta \)

  • A.1-R, 2-P, 3-Q
  • B.1-Q, 2-P, 3-R
  • C.1-Q, 2-R, 3-P
  • D.1-P, 2-Q, 3-R

Answer: B

Cartesian coordinates need no factor, all three edges being lengths already. Cylindrical carries one factor of \( r \) for the single angle. Spherical carries \( r^{2}\sin\phi \), one power of the radius for each of its two angles and a sine because circles of latitude shrink towards the poles
