To determine

Why a mixture of two common isotopes of oxygen, oxygen-16 and oxygen-18, is put in a cylindrical chamber that is then spun around its long axis at a very high speed. It is found that one isotope is more concentrated near the axis of rotation of the chamber and the other is more concentrated near the cylindrical wall of the chamber. Which isotope is located near the axis?

Only part A.) of the question
In general it is best to conceptualize vectors as arrows in space, and then to make calculations with them using their components. (You must first specify a coordinate system in order to find the components of each arrow.) This problem gives you some practice with the components. Let vectors A = (1,0, -3), B = (-2, 5, 1), and C = (3,1,1). Calculate the following, and express your answers as ordered triplets of values separated by commas.
