2 2. More Algebra& Geometry using Vectors Inwhichwediscuss... Vector products: Scalar Triple Product, Vector Triple Product, Vector Quadruple Product GeometryofLinesandPlanes Solving vector equations Angular velocity and moments
3 Triple and multiple products 2.2 Using mixtures of scalar products and vector products, it is possible to derive triple products between three vectors n-products between n vectors. Nothing new about these but some have nice geometric interpretations... Wewilllookatthe Scalar triple product Vector triple product Vector quadruple product
4 Scalartripleproducta (b c) 2.3 Scalar triple product given by the true determinant a (b c)= a 1 a 2 a 3 b 1 b 2 b 3 c 1 c 2 c 3 Yourknowledgeofdeterminantstellsyouthatifyou swaponepairofrowsofadeterminant,signchanges; swaptwopairsofrows,itssignstaysthesame. Hence (i)a (b c)=c (a b)=b (c a)(cyclicpermutation.) (ii)a (b c)= b (a c)andsoon.(anti-cyclicpermutation) (iii)thefactthata (b c)=(a b) callowsthescalartripleproducttobewrittenas[a,b,c]. Thisnotationisnotveryhelpful,andwewilltrytoavoiditbelow.
5 Geometrical interpretation of scalar triple product 2.4 Thescalartripleproductgivesthevolumeoftheparallelopipedwhosesidesarerepresentedbythevectorsa,b,and c. c cos β β c b Vectorproduct(a b)has magnitudeequaltotheareaofthebase direction perpendicular to the base. a Thecomponentofcinthisdirectionisequaltotheheightoftheparallelopiped Hence (a b) c =volumeofparallelopied
6 Linearly dependent vectors 2.5 Ifthescalartripleproductofthreevectors a (b c)=0 n b c then the vectors are linearly dependent. a=λb+µc a You can see this immediately either using the determinant Thedeterminantwouldhaveonerowthatwasalinearcombinationoftheothers or geometrically for a 3-dimensional vector. the parallelopiped would have zero volume if squashed flat.
7 Vectortripleproducta (b c) 2.6 a (b c)isperpendicularto(b c) but(b c)isperpendiculartobandc. Soa (b c)mustbecoplanarwithbandc. a (b c)=λb+µc b x c a In arbitrary direction c b a x ( b x c ) Similarlyforcomponents2and3:so (a (b c)) 1 = a 2 (b c) 3 a 3 (b c) 2 = a 2 (b 1 c 2 b 2 c 1 )+a 3 (b 1 c 3 b 3 c 1 ) = (a 2 c 2 +a 3 c 3 )b 1 (a 2 b 2 +a 3 b 3 )c 1 = (a 1 c 1 +a 2 c 2 +a 3 c 3 )b 1 (a 1 b 1 +a 2 b 2 +a 3 b 3 )c 1 = (a c)b 1 (a b)c 1 [a (b c)] =(a c)b (a b)c

Substituting in carefully(you check...) [p (q r)] = (p r)q (p q)r (a b) (c d) =?? (a b) (c d) = [(a b) d]c [(a b) c]d = [(c d) a]b [(c d) b]a
10 Vector Quadruple Product/ctd 2.9 UsingjusttheR-Hsidesofwhatwejustwrote... [(a b) c]d=[(b c) d]a+[(c a) d]b+[(a b) d]c So Don trememberby d = [(b c) d]a+[(c a) d]b+[(a b) d]c [(a b) c] = αa+βb+γc. a d Keypointisthattheprojectionofa3Dvector dontoabasissetof3non-coplanarvectorsis UNIQUE. c b
11 Example 2.10 Question Usethequadruplevectorproducttoexpressthevectord=[3,2,1]intermsofthevectorsa=[1,2,3],b=[2,3,1] andc=[3,1,2]. Answer d= [(b c) d]a+[(c a) d]b+[(a b) d]c [(a b) c] So, grinding away at the determinants, we find (a b) c= 18and(b c) d=6 (c a) d= 12and(a b) d= 12. So d = 1 18 (6a 12b 12c) = 1 3 ( a+2b+2c)

Sotheminimumlengthvectoris p=(a c) ((a c) ˆb)ˆb. Nosurprise!It sthecomponentof(a c)perpendiculartoˆb. We could therefore write using the book formula... p = ˆb [(a c) ˆb] p min = ˆb [(a c) ˆb] = (a c) ˆb.
14 Shortest distance between two straight lines 2.13 Shortestdistancefrompointtolineisalongtheperpline shortest distance between two straight lines is along mutual perpendicular. Thelinesare: r=a+λˆb r=c+µˆd c µ d λb Theunitvectoralongthemutualperpis ˆp= ˆb ˆd ˆb ˆd. a Q P (Yes!Don tforgetthatˆb ˆdisNOTaunitvector.)

15 Example 2.14 Question for civil engineers Two long straight pipes are specified using Cartesian co-ordinates as follows: Pipe A: diameter 0.8; axis through points (2,5,3) and (7,10,8). Pipe B: diameter 1.0; axis through points (0,6,3) and ( 12,0,9). Do the pipes need re-aligning to avoid intersection?
16 Example continued 2.15 Answer PipesAandBhaveaxes: (Non-unit) perpendicular to both their axes is î ĵ ˆk p= =[2, 3,1] The length of the mutual perpendicular is mod r A = [2,5,3]+λ [5,5,5]=[2,5,3]+λ[1,1,1]/ 3 r B = [0,6,3]+µ [ 12, 6,6]=[0,6,3]+µ[ 2, 1,1]/ 6 (a b) [2, 3,1] 14 =[2, 1,0] [2, 3,1] 14 =1.87. Sumoftheradiiofthepipesis =0.9. Hence the pipes do not intersect. [0,6,3] [7,10,8] b a p [2,5,3] [ 12,0,9]

21 Solution of vector equations 2.20 Find the most general vector x satisfying a given vector relationship. Eg General Method(assuming 3 dimensions) x=x a+b 1. Set up a system of three basis vectors using two non-parallel vectors appearing in the original vector relationship. For example a,b,(a b) 2. Write whereλ,µ,νarescalarstobefound. x=λa+µb+νa b 3. Substitute expression for x into the vector relationship to determine the set of constraints on λ,µ, and ν.
22 Example:Solvex=x a+b Step1:Basisvectorsa,bandv.p.a b. Step2:x=λa+µb+νa b. Step3:Bungxbackintotheequation! λa+µb+νa b = (λa+µb+νa b) a+b Equatingcoefficientsofa,banda bintheequationgives = 0+µ(b a)+ν(a b) a+b = ν(a b)a+(νa 2 +1)b µ(a b) λ= ν(a b) µ=νa 2 +1 ν= µ so that µ= 1 1+a 2 ν= 1 1+a 2 λ= a b 1+a 2. So finally the solution is the single point: x= 1 1+a 2[(a b)a+b (a b)]
