Description
 
Divides previous result by the magnitude.
 
Calculates angle.
  
  
Displays angle.
  
Loops back for polar display/input.
Checksum and length: 0D0B 81
Flags Used:
None.
Remarks:
The terms "polar" and "rectangular," which refer to two–dimensional systems, are
used instead of the proper three–dimensional terms of "spherical" and
"Cartesian." This stretch of terminology allows the labels to be associated with
their function without confusing conflicts. For instance, if LBL C had been
associated with Cartesian coordinate input, it would not have been available for
cross product.
Program Instructions:
1. Key in the program routines; press
Å
when done.
2. If your vector is in rectangular form, press
t
R and go to step 4. If your
vector is in polar form, press
t
P and continue with step 3.
3. Key in R and press
¥
, key in T and press
¥
, then key in P and press
¥
. Continue at step 5.
4. Key in X and press
¥
, key in Y and press
¥
, and key in Z and press
¥
.
5. To key in a second vector, press
t
E (for enter), then go to step 2.
6. Perform desired vector operation:
a. Add vectors by pressing
t
A;
b. Subtract vector one from vector two by pressing
t
S;
c. Compute the cross product by pressing
t
C;
