Show that (3.9) follows from (3.8) . Hint: Give a proof by contradiction. Let be the parenthesis in ; you may find it useful to think of the components written as a matrix. You want to prove that all 9 components of are zero. Suppose it is claimed that is not zero. Since is an arbitrary vector, take it to be the vector
, and observe that is then not zero in contradiction to
.Similarly show that all components of are zero as
claims.
Point masses 1 at (1, 1, -2) and 2 at (1, 1, 1).
Let . Find , the a vectors, and for the u, v coordinate system and show that it is not an orthogonal system. Hint: Show that the vectors are not orthogonal, and that contains du dv terms. Write the matrix and observe that it is symmetric but not diagonal. Sketch the lines and observe that they are not perpendicular to each other.
.
Following what we did in equations (2.14) to (2.17), show that the direct product of a vector and a -rank tensor is a -rank tensor. Also show that the direct product of two -rank tensors is a -rank tensor. Generalize this to show that the direct product of two tensors of ranks m and n is a tensor of rank m + n .
