Exercise 27

Avg difficulty 3.0

Verify that the definition of angle is dimensionally correct: (1) if k>0k>0 then the cosine of the angle between ku⃗k\vec{u} and v⃗\vec{v} equals the cosine of the angle between u⃗\vec{u} and v⃗\vec{v}, and (2) if k<0k<0 then the cosine of the angle between ku⃗k\vec{u} and v⃗\vec{v} is the negative of the cosine of the angle between u⃗\vec{u} and v⃗\vec{v}.
