Question

I want to rotate a plane represented by the equation z = 6 , by n degrees along y axis and find the new equation of the plane. how can this be done?

Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution

Base point (0,0,6) after rotation will lie in XZ plane with coordinates

(x0, y0, z0) = (-6*sin(Fi), 0, 6*cos(Fi))

normal vector

n = (A,B,C) = (-sin(Fi), 0, cos(Fi))

so new plane equation is (for explanation see beginning of the article)

A*(x-x0)+B*(y-y0)+C*(z-z0)=0
or
-sin(Fi)*x + cos(Fi)*z - 6 = 0
