Verify Hints: In Figure , consider the projection of the slanted face of area onto the three unprimed coordinate planes. In each case, show that the projection angle is equal to an angle between the axis and one of the unprimed axes. Find the cosine of the angle from the matrix A in .
Show that the fourth expression in (3.1) is equal to . By equations (2.6) and (2.10) , show that , so
Compare this with equation (2.12) to show thatis a Cartesian vector. Hint: Watch the summation indices carefully and if it helps, put back the summation signs or write sums out in detail as in (3.1) until you get used to summation convention.
In equation (5.16), show that if is a tensor (that is, not a pseudotensor), then is a pseudovector (axial vector). Also show that if is a pseudotensor, then is a vector (true or polar vector). You know that if role="math" localid="1659251751142" is a cross product of polar vectors, then it is a pseudovector. Is its dual a tensor or a pseudotensor?
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.
As we did in (3.3) , show that the contracted tensor is a first-rank tensor, that is, a vector.
