To determine

(a)

The cross product C = A×B

Answer to Problem 1.58P

The cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=52i32j48m2

Explanation of Solution

Given that:

  A=12j+8k ft

  B=4i2j+3k ft

Concept: -We know that the cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=|ijk a 1 a 2 a 3 b 1 b 2 b 3|

  A×B=| a 2 a 3 b 2 b 3|i| a 1 a 3 b 1 b 3|j+| a 1 a 2 b 1 b 2|k

Calculation: -

The cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=|ijk0128423|

  A×B=|12823|i|0843|j+|01242|k

  A×B=52i32j48m2

(b)

The cross product C = A×B

Answer to Problem 1.58P

The cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=36i60j21Nm

Explanation of Solution

Given that:

  A=5i+3j N

  B=7i+12k m

Concept: -We know that the cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=|ijk a 1 a 2 a 3 b 1 b 2 b 3|

  A×B=| a 2 a 3 b 2 b 3|i| a 1 a 3 b 1 b 3|j+| a 1 a 2 b 1 b 2|k

Calculation: -

The cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=|30012|i|50712|j+|5370|k

  A×B=36i60j21Nm

(c)

The cross product C = A×B

Answer to Problem 1.58P

The cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=14i+30j+18Nm

Explanation of Solution

Given that:-

  A=3i+2jk m

  B=6i+2j8k m

Concept: -We know that the cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=|ijk a 1 a 2 a 3 b 1 b 2 b 3|

  A×B=| a 2 a 3 b 2 b 3|i| a 1 a 3 b 1 b 3|j+| a 1 a 2 b 1 b 2|k

Calculation: -

The cross product C = A×B is given by:

  A×B=|2128|i|3168|j+|3262|k

  A×B=14i+30j+18Nm
