Write the equations in (2.16) and so in (2.17) solved for the unprimed components in terms of the primed components.
Write and prove in tensor notation:
(a) Chapter 6, Problem 3.13.
(b) Chapter 6, Problem 3.14.
(c) Lagrange’s identity:.
(d), role="math" localid="1659335462905" where the symbol means the triple scalar product of the three vectors.
As in problem 6, show that the sum of two -rank tensors is a -rank tensor; that the sum of two -rank tensors is a -rank tensor.
In spherical coordinates.
As we did in (3.3) , show that the contracted tensor is a first-rank tensor, that is, a vector.
