vector P =  m cosФ  i + m sinФ 
vector head P (m cosФ, m sinФ).    vector tail = O(0,0)

After rotation, the angle becomes  Ф+β.

So:   new vector P' :   m cos (Ф+β) i + m sin (Ф+β)  j 

change in the position: PP':
   (PP')² = m² [ (cos(Ф+β) - cosФ)² + (sin(Ф+β) - sinФ)² ]
             = m² [ (-2 sin β/2  sin(Ф + β/2) )² + (2 sin β/2  Cos(Ф+β/2) )² ]
             = 4 m² sin² β/2 * 1
