2.4 Exercise 16

Avg difficulty 2.5

Assuming the +x-axis is horizontal to the right for the vectors in the previous figure, find the following vector products: (a) A→×C→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{C}, (b) A→×F→\overset{\rightarrow}{A} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{F}, (c) D→×C→\overset{\rightarrow}{D} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{C}, (d) A→×(F→+2C→)\overset{\rightarrow}{A} \times \left(\overset{\rightarrow}{F} + 2 \overset{\rightarrow}{C}\right), (e) i^×B→\hat{i} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B}, (f) j^×B→\hat{j} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B}, (g) (3i^−j^)×B→\left(3 \hat{i} - \hat{j}\right) \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B}, and (h) B^×B→\hat{B} \times \overset{\rightarrow}{B}.
