CROSS PRODUCT
Cross product of two vectors like vektor A and B written as A x B (A cross B).
Cross product are known with vector multiply, because the result of thit multiply is
vector quantity. For the example vector A and vector B is shown like the figure below.
So, we can make the definition that the value of cross product of vector A and B
(A x B) as result of multiply vector A with component vector B which perpendicular
with vector A.
Matheatically we write as :
We know that the vector dot was instrumental in the calculation of the vector angle
and projection. Privileged dot located
at
multiplication 90 0 will be zero, thus simplifying the calculation. Then, what about the
cross product?
Cross ( x

According this figure, we can make the definition of cross priduct between vector
B and A (B x A) as result vector B with component vector A which perpenducular
with vector B. In mathematically we can written as :
ixi=jxj=kxk=0
i x j = -j x i = k
j x k = -k x j = i
k x i = -i x k = j

Example :
1. Is given two vectors namelyh A = 8 unit, B = 10 unit. This vector formed the
angle 37. calculated:
a) A B
solution
a) A B is dot product between vector A and vector B
for multiply:
A B = A B cos
so
A B = A B cos 37 = (8)(10)(0,8) = 64 unit
