The productu(vw)is an example of a vector called a vector triple product.

(a) Show that if v=v1,v2,v3and w=w1,w2,w3,then i(vw)=w1vv1w.

(b) Derive similar expressions from j(vw)and k(vw).

(c) Use your results from parts (a) and (b) to show that u(vw)=(uw)v(uv)w.

(d) Use your results from part (c) and the anti commutativity of the cross product to derive a similar expression for the vector triple product (uv)w.

(e) Use your results from parts (c) and (d) to show that the cross product is not associative.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

(a) Take the vectors v=v1,v2,v3and w=w1,w2,w3.

The goal is to demonstrate that i(vw)=w1v-v1w.

Find the cross producti(vw) to prove the result.

02

Given Information

The by-product is(vW) stands for:

vw=ijkv1v2v3w1w2w3

=v2w3-v3w2i+v3w1-v1w3j+v1w2-v2w1k.......(1)

03

Explanation 

The by-product i(vw)is

i(vw)=ijk100v2w3-v3w2v3w1-v1w3v1w2-v2w1(Using 1)

=0i-v1w2-v2w1j+v3w1-v1w3k

=0,w1v2-v1w2,w1v3-v1w3.........2

04

Explanation

The expressionw1v-v1w yields: w1v-v1w=w1v1,v2,v3-v1w1,w2,w3=w1v1,w1v2,w1v3-v1w1,v1w2,v1w3=w1v1-v1w1,w1v2-v1w2,w1v3-v1w3

=0,w1v2-v1w2,w1v3-v1w3.....3

05

Explanation

The following are the results of the equations (1) and (2) i(vw)=w1v-v1w

06

Given Information

(b) Consider the vectors v=v1,v2,v3and w=w1,w2,w3.

The goal is to calculate j(vw)andk(vw).

Use the result i(vw)=w1v-v1wto determine the value of j(vw)to get the value of j(vw).

07

Explanation

The value of j(vw)in generalizing the result i(vW)=w1v-v1Wis:

j(vw)=w2v-v2w

As a result ,j(vw)isw2v-v2w

08

Explanation

The value of k(vw)when generalising the result i(vw)=w1v-v1wis:

k(vw)=w3v-v3w

As a result,k(vw)isw3v-v3w

09

 Given Infomation

(c) The goal is to demonstrate that u(vw)=(uw)v-(uv)w.

Use the following relationships to show your point.

i(vw)=w1v-v1w

j(vw)=w2v-v2w

k(vw)=w3v-v3w

10

Explanation

The expressioni(vw)=w1v-v1w can be expressed as follows: i(vw)=(iw)v-(iv)w(Becauseii=1,ij=0,ik=0) As a result of generalising the result, the following equation emerges.u(vw)=(uw)v-(uv)w

The result is proven.

11

Given Information

(d) The goal is to calculate the result of (uv)w

Use the result u(vw)=(uw)v-(uv)wand the anti-commutativity of the vectors to get the result.

12

Explanation 

Due to the fact that the vectors are not commutative.

As a result,(uv)w=-u(vw)

13

Explanation

As a result,(uv)w=-[(uw)v-(uv)w](Substitution) =(uv)w-(uw)v

As a result,(uv)wis(uv)w-(uw)v

14

Given Information

(e)

The goal is to show that cross-product is not synonymous with associative.

The value of u(vw)is : u(vw)=(uw)v-(uv)w.......(1)

15

Explanation 

(uv)w=(uv)w-(uw)v........(2)has the following value:

From equation 1and 2

u(vw)(uv)w

As a result, cross-product is not an associative term.

16

Given Information 

(f)

The goal is to determine whether u(vw)=(uv)w

Only when (uw)v-(uv)w=(uv)w-(uw)v

2[(uw)v-(uv)w]=0

(uw)v-(uv)w=0
(u-w)v=0and uv=0

uw=0and uv=0

The vector umust be orthogonal to both wand vin order for u(vw)=(uv)w
