Multiply by [A]. |AI[B + C]cos@s = |Al|B|cosés + |A||C|cos és. So: A-(B + C) = A-B+A-C. (Dot product is distributive.) Similarly: |B + C|sin 05 = |B| sin, + |C|sin@,. Mulitply by |A| fi. |A||B + C|sin 45 A = |Al|B|sin@; & + |Al/C|sin 8, a. If fi is the unit vector pointing out of the page, it follows that Ax(B + C) =(AXB) +(AXxC). (Cross product is distributive.) Bleosé, (Cleos ea (b) For the general case, see G. B. Hay's Vector and Tensor Analysis, Chapter 1, Section 7 (dot product) and Section 8 (cross product). Problem 1.2 The triple cross-product is not in general associative. For example, suppose A = B and C is perpendicular to A, as in the diagram. Then (BXC) points out-of-the-page, and Ax(BXxC) points down, and has magnitude ABC. But (AxB) = 0, 50 (AXB)xC = 0 ¢ Ax(BxC). Problem 1.3 A=+ik+1y—18; A= V3, B=1e4+19 41%; B= V3. AB =+14+1-1=1= ABcosé = V3V3cos8 => cos! (0 = cos? (1) ws 70.5288 Problem 1.4 ‘The cross-product of any two vectors in the plane will give a vector perpendicular to the plane. For example, we might pick the base (A) and the left side (B): A= -1%+29 +08; B= 18409 +38.
