Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 62GP
Two loudspeakers 42.0 m apart and facing each other emit identical 115 Hz sinusoidal sound waves in a room where the sound speed is 345 m/s. Susan is walking along a line between the speakers. As she walks, she finds herself moving through loud and quiet spots. If Susan stands 19.5 m from one speaker, is she standing at a quiet spot or a loud spot?

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.
