I'm trying to find the velocity vector of a 3D coordinate system such
that each point, r(vector), in space is specified by the following
coords: (p,q,phi), where p is the distance from vectors r to r1, which
is on the z-axis at a distance c above (+z direction) the origin, and
q the distance from the vectors r to r2, which is on the z-axis at a
distance c below (-z direction) the origin, and phi is the usual
azimuth angle.
