Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept of the product rule

This problem is based on the product rule in which the vector product and scalar product are the two ways of multiplying vectors. To construct the scalar product, one multiplies the magnitude of the component of one vector by the magnitude of the component of the other vector. Similarly, When two vectors are multiplied by the sine of the angle between them, the magnitude of the vector product can be found.

Consider, eastward is i^, northward is j^, and upward is k^respectively.

Using the fundamental product rule i^,j^,k^can be written as

i^j^=-j^i=k^ (i)

role="math" localid="1656308707958" j^k^=-k^j^=i^ (ii) k^i^=-i^k^=j^ (iii)

02

To find north cross west

eastward is i^, so west is -i^therefore,

j^-i^=k^=up

03

To find down dot south

Similarly,

(-k^)(-j^)=0

04

To find east cross up

i^k^=-j^southi^

05

To find west dot west

(-i^)(-i^)=1

06

To find south cross south

(-j^)(-j^)=1

An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.6 km , but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 7.8 km at 50north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction must he now travel to reach base camp?
