Let us consider the Cartesian co-ordinates of the point are \( (x,\ y,\ z) \),
Given, the spherical polar co-ordinates of that point are
\( r=16 \)
\( \theta=60^{\circ} \)
\( \phi=30^{\circ} \)
We know that,
\( x=r\ \sin\theta\ \cos\phi= 16\times\sin{60^{\circ}}\times\cos{30^{\circ}} \)
\( or,\ x=16\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=12 \)
\( y=r\ \sin\theta\ \sin\phi=16\times\sin{60^{\circ}}\times\sin{30^{\circ}} \)
\( or,\ y=16\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}=4\sqrt{3} \)
And,
\( z=r\ \cos\theta=16\times\cos{60^{\circ}} \)
\( or,\ z=16\times\frac{1}{2}=8 \)
So the cartesian co-ordinates of the point are \( (12,\ 4\sqrt{3},\ 8) \)
