VECTOR MULTIPLICATION
When two vectors A and B are multiplied, the result is either a scalar or a vector depending on
how they are multiplied. Thus there are two types of vector multiplication:
Dot Product
The dot product of two vectors A and B, written as A • B is defined geometrically as the
product of the magnitudes of A and B and the cosine of the angle between them.
Cross Product
The cross product of two vectors A and B, written as A x B is a vector quantity whose
magnitude is the area of the parallelopiped formed by A and B and is in the direction of
advance of a right-handed screw as A is turned into B.
Solution:
