Multiply by |A\. AIIB + C]cosés = |Al|B| cos: + |Al|C] cos 6, Clsines So: A(B+C) = A-B+A.C. (Dot product is distributive.) Similarly: |B + C|sin y = [B|sin 0) + {C|sin@,. Mulitply by |Al a. JAIIB + C|sin dy 8 = [Al)B| sin, f+ [Al|C|sin & 8 (Bisine, If fis the unit vector pointing out of the page, it follows that, Ax(B +) = (AxB) +(AXC). (Cross product is distributive.) (Bicone (Clomes (b) For the general case, see G. E. Hay’s Vector and Tensor Analysis, Chapter 1, Section 7 (dot product) and Section 8 (cross product). Problem 1.2 The triple cross-produet is not in general associative, For example, i suppose A = B and C is perpendicular to A, as in the diagram. Then (BXC) points out-of-the-page, and Ax(BxC) points down, A=B and has magnitude ABC. But (AXB) = 0, so (AxB)xC = 04 Ax(BxC), BxC jAax(BxC) Problem 13 = A=+1R+19- 18; A= V3; B=1k+19 +14; B= V3. AB = 4141-121 = AB cosd = V3VEc080 = con® =} Jy [6 = cos"! (}) = 70.524 K Problem 14 ‘The eross-produet of any two vectors in the plane will give a vector perpendicular to the plane. For example, wwe might pick the base (A) and the left side (B). A 18429 +08; B=-12409-+38.
