Question

Consider a square pyramid with its base sitting on the x-y plane and
the apex on the z-axis. The base is defined by four points: (1,0,0), (0,1,0),(-1,0,0),
(0,-1,0). The apex is at (0,0,2). Use vector cross product to find the unit normal
vector for each triangular face of the pyramid. This is similar to problem G1.4.

Find a unit vector perpendicular to A = (î+ ĵ – Îk) and B = ( 2i + j- 3k). (Hints. One method to find the unit vector C perpendicular to A and B will be to use the fact that the cross product is perpendicular to both vectors A and B, but keep in mind that the magnitude of the unit vector is one. There is another method which is a little bit longer by using the fact that the dot product AC=0 and BC=0 where C is the unit vector )
What is the relation between A×B and BxA, The magnitudes are the same but they are in opposite directions, i.e., (Ã×B)=-(BxÃ) The order of the vectors in a cross product doesn't matter so they are the same, i.e., (ÃxB)=(BxÃ)
