Explanation of Solution

Given data:

  A=4i,B=6i+6j

Formula Used:

Consider vectors A and B are perpendicular the vector product of two vectors, that is,

  |A×B|=|A||B|sinϕ=|A||B|sin90o|A×B||A||B|=1.....(1)

Using scalar product of two vectors we can find angle between the vectors.

  |AB|=|A||B|cosϕϕ=cos1(AB|A||B|)

Calculation:

The vector product of vector A and B is

  A=4i,B=6i+6jA×B=(4i)×(6i+6j)=(4i×6i)+(4i×6j)=0+24k^=24k^

The magnitude of vector A and B are

  |A|=(4i^)2+02+02=4|B|=(6i^)2+(6j^)2+02=62|A||B|=4(62)=242|A×B|(|A||B|)=|24k^|242=0.707

Comparing with equation (1) , the vector A and B are not perpendicular.

The scalar product of vector A and B is

  AB=4i^(6i^+6j^)=24(i^i^)+24(i^j^)=24

The angle between the vectors A and B is

  ϕ=cos1(AB|A||B|)=cos1(24242)=cos1(12)=45o

The cross product AxB is perpendicular to both vectors in the cross product (think of Aand В as lying on a sheet of paper; the cross product is perpendicular to the plane of the sheet). After figuring out the two directions perpendicular to both vectors you use one of the right hand rules given on Page 338 to choose which of the two direction is correct. All three should give the same result so use whichever one you are most comfortable with. In class, we will use the middle one in the diagram in the book. The vector torque is where "is the vector from the axis of rotation to where the force is applied. Which is the direction of the torque vector? +y ++ * (in) +z (out) O = in (O) = out
