00:00:00
we have a lesson on the cross product
00:00:01
today it's also called the vector
00:00:03
product and when we have this scenario
00:00:06
I'm going to start off with this
00:00:08
parallelogram and from this
00:00:11
parallelogram we have vector be here and
00:00:13
vector a this is also be this is also
00:00:16
vector a and this is the angle theta
00:00:20
that's made and if i consider this drop
00:00:23
this altitude if i want to find the area
00:00:25
of this rectangle I need the height
00:00:27
which from my right triangle I know this
00:00:30
is going to be the magnitude of B times
00:00:33
the sine of theta so the opposite over
00:00:37
the hypotenuse so the area of a
00:00:40
parallelogram is going to be the
00:00:41
magnitude of a time's the magnitude of B
00:00:45
sine theta and that's going to be the
00:00:47
area it is also known if you notice here
00:00:52
there is an a cross B and a cross B is
00:00:57
made to be perpendicular to B and also
00:01:01
perpendicular to a and if I go in this
00:01:05
direction it's a cross B a cross B i use
00:01:12
a right-hand rule i started a and I go
00:01:14
to be just from your physics and a cross
00:01:17
B is going to go in this direction going
00:01:19
up as I use the right hand rule the
00:01:23
magnitude of a cross B is also equal to
00:01:27
this area and so hence the air the
00:01:31
triangle is half the magnitude of a
00:01:34
cross B and that is in your formal
00:01:39
booklet but it also lends the question
00:01:42
what is this vector product idea okay
00:01:46
and so here is what I know about the
00:01:49
triangle this is in my form of accord
00:01:53
but what in the world is all this stuff
00:01:56
a cross B let's talk about that if I
00:02:00
have vector a
00:02:02
and we'll call it a 10 a to be a 1 a 2 a
00:02:12
3 and B is b1 b2 and b3 if I'm going to
00:02:21
do a cross B what I do is I set up this
00:02:25
technique and I get really good at doing
00:02:27
this going to do a lot I know I want a J
00:02:29
and K and if I tech take vector a is a1
00:02:35
a2 a3 and vector B is b1 b2 and b3 and I
00:02:43
can see from this diagram a cross B is a
00:02:47
vector so the outcome of this is going
00:02:51
to be a vector it's going to be the
00:02:53
terms of I J and K so if i want to find
00:02:56
vector I what I do here's just the
00:03:00
procedure I can use if i take this let
00:03:03
me hide this see if I can use this and
00:03:07
hide let's fill it up read and see if
00:03:11
it's hidden so if I hide this one okay
00:03:17
what I do here to find the cross product
00:03:21
is I am going to take a 2 times B 3 a 2
00:03:27
B 3 this diagonal here subtract the
00:03:32
other diagonal a3 b2 that is my I vector
00:03:38
notice I serve the top when I went down
00:03:42
when i go to my j vector the pattern
00:03:46
goes I don't start at the top I start
00:03:48
the bottom this time I want ji-hye j and
00:03:50
i'm going to go b 1 and a 3 a 3 and b 1
00:03:55
multiplied subtract the other two
00:03:58
multiplied a 1 B 3 and that is J and if
00:04:03
i want to find ki hide my k column and I
00:04:08
again I go to the top a 1 B 1 a 1 the
00:04:11
arse of a1 b2 minus a2 b1 a
00:04:16
to be one and this is the formula for
00:04:19
the cross product you will do this
00:04:23
computation a lot be very careful with
00:04:26
your signs this vector product cross
00:04:29
part is in your form liquid and you can
00:04:35
see it here this is hard for me to do
00:04:38
you'll get used to the pattern i
00:04:39
memorize a pattern well we know that
00:04:42
we're given also the magnitude is equal
00:04:45
to the sign of the theta the cross of
00:04:48
the dot product was the cosine of the
00:04:50
angle and so this will be quite a handy
00:04:53
scenario now looking at this question
00:04:58
here we want to find B cross a well if I
00:05:02
want be cross I here's I JK B cross a
00:05:06
means I have 2-4 1 and 1 32 and so I'll
00:05:16
do in combination I'll do some scratch
00:05:18
work and i'll make my B cross a vector
00:05:21
and so doing this I'm going to find I
00:05:25
first so I'm hiding that and so I end up
00:05:30
with negative four or so negative 8
00:05:33
minus 3 equals negative 11 and then I
00:05:40
move over my hiding my rectangle start
00:05:44
the pattern goes one I'll go one
00:05:48
subtract four it gives me negative 3 and
00:05:53
finally hiding k for the k i'm going to
00:05:58
go starting from the top now 6 6 minus
00:06:01
negative 4 which is 10 and so if here's
00:06:08
a and here's be the right hand rule
00:06:13
means i go in this direction and I'll a
00:06:16
cross B will be going down here this is
00:06:19
B cross a it's perpendicular here and
00:06:22
perpendicular there
00:06:25
switching colors let's do the other
00:06:27
direction now we're going to do i J and
00:06:32
K and we're going to do a cross B so
00:06:34
it's 132 and 2-4 1 i'll move my hand a
00:06:42
little rectangle to close that out and
00:06:46
so do my computations i start at the top
00:06:49
3 minus a negative 8 gives me 11 for
00:06:57
moving the rectangle over a hiding my j
00:07:00
column start at the bottom now i go 4-1
00:07:05
which gives me 3 and covering up mike a
00:07:09
column i end up with negative 4 minus 6
00:07:14
which is negative 10 and this is a cross
00:07:19
B and so if i do a cross B that means
00:07:24
I'm going in this direction here in my
00:07:27
right hand rule then take a cross B and
00:07:29
go up or this is a cross B and if I look
00:07:34
at these two vectors they are exactly
00:07:37
opposite of each other and so one thing
00:07:41
I know is that a cross B is equal to
00:07:44
minus B cross a okay so I also now want
00:07:51
a unit vector to both a and B
00:08:03
I only pause here because I think I want
00:08:08
fine the unit vector that is
00:08:09
perpendicular perpendicular I just
00:08:14
forgot that word to both a and B well if
00:08:18
I want a unit vector predictable Bambi I
00:08:20
know that both these vectors here this
00:08:24
one and this one are both perpendicular
00:08:27
to a and B and so I want to find a unit
00:08:32
vector in order to find my unit vector
00:08:35
I'm going to take this vector a here a
00:08:41
cross B and we're I'm going to get rid
00:08:47
of this that this ok so now I'm going to
00:08:56
find a unit vector so in order to do
00:08:57
that I need to find the magnitude of a
00:08:59
cross B which I know is going to be the
00:09:03
square root of 11 squared plus 3 squared
00:09:06
plus negative 10 squared which is 121
00:09:11
plus 9 plus 100 which is the square root
00:09:16
of 230 so if I want a unit vector i
00:09:21
divided by the square root of 2 30 i
00:09:24
multiply this by this value here this is
00:09:30
my unit vector now it says find the side
00:09:35
angle between a and B well I know from
00:09:39
my formula booklet this here is true you
00:09:44
pull it over this is true if I know the
00:09:51
magnitude of a cross B it will be the
00:09:56
magnitude of a time's the magnitude of B
00:10:00
sine the angle well from here a cross B
00:10:08
magnitude I figured out already is to
00:10:11
square root of 2 30
00:10:16
the magnitude of a well that's going to
00:10:21
be one plus three squared is 9 plus 2
00:10:28
squared is 4 times the magnitude of 2
00:10:32
squared plus negative 4 squared is 16
00:10:37
plus 1 squared is 1 sine of theta and so
00:10:44
if I take 2 30 / that's the square root
00:10:49
of 14 this is the square root of 21
00:10:53
equals sine of theta and so the theta
00:10:59
equals if i go to my calculator second
00:11:04
sign and i'll put it into a fraction Oh
00:11:12
try it again so second sine alpha y
00:11:19
equals four my fractions I want the
00:11:22
square root of 2 30 over square root of
00:11:30
14 and a square root of 21 and I end up
00:11:38
theta is 62.2 degrees to three
00:11:44
significant figures oh it only asked the
00:11:47
sine of the angle I did not need to go
00:11:51
this far this value would have suffice
00:11:54
for the sine of the angle let's try to
00:11:58
an example here now it says find the
00:12:00
area of parallelogram ABCD where a has
00:12:03
this coordinates well what I know about
00:12:05
parallelograms is if I they are written
00:12:11
in the order that they are so a b.a.d if
00:12:17
I want to find the area I just need this
00:12:21
vector and
00:12:23
this vector so if vector a B I do head-
00:12:29
tail so 3 minus 2 is one- two- three-
00:12:37
five- 1 minus neck up negative 1 so
00:12:42
negative 1 plus 1 is 0 ad then I go 3-2
00:12:53
is 10 minus 3 is negative 3 and then 1
00:13:01
minus a negative so one plus one is two
00:13:06
so if I want to find the area I'm going
00:13:09
to look for the cross product between
00:13:10
these and then find a magnitude so my
00:13:14
cross product JK 1 negative 50 1
00:13:19
negative 32 and so the cross product is
00:13:23
going to be here's my little rectangle
00:13:27
to help me out I want I it's going to be
00:13:32
negative 10-0 we're going to change the
00:13:39
pattern 0-2 so negative 2 hiding k start
00:13:50
of the top one so this is negative 3 and
00:13:54
negative flaps of minus 3 plus flags i
00:13:57
have to subtract minus three plus five
00:14:00
is too that is a B cross a d if i want
00:14:11
to find the area I then have to find the
00:14:14
magnitude of this magnitude of a be
00:14:17
across the magnitude of AD magnitude
00:14:21
will be 10 squared plus 2 squared plus 2
00:14:28
squared which is 104 and four so the
00:14:32
square root of 108 is the area of the
00:14:37
parallelogram find the cross product use
00:14:41
the cross product find the area alright
00:14:44
so now ABC are points find a unit vector
00:14:47
is perpendicular to the plane ABC well
00:14:50
here is a B let's say C and so there's a
00:14:57
plane here that comprises those three
00:15:00
points I want to fly a unit vector
00:15:02
perpendicular to it again I am going to
00:15:06
do the cross product of them so I'm
00:15:07
going to go a be so the head- a tail is
00:15:13
18 minus 5 is 3 9 minus 6 is 3 you
00:15:18
should pause the video and try this one
00:15:20
yourself AC and really it doesn't matter
00:15:29
which combination of vectors I choose
00:15:31
they're all on the on the plane so i can
00:15:34
choose any combination so 1 minus 2 is
00:15:37
negative 1 1 minus 5 is negative 40
00:15:42
minus 6 is minus 6 so now i'm going to
00:15:47
find a unit vector here i have to find
00:15:49
the cross product to make it
00:15:50
perpendicular so i j k 1 3 3 negative 1
00:15:58
negative 4 negative 6 now to make my
00:16:02
life easier I'm not very good with
00:16:05
negatives I make mistakes when I have
00:16:07
negatives so I'm also going to do see a
00:16:11
which is 146 it's also on the plane and
00:16:16
it will also produce a unit vector
00:16:18
that's perpendicular so will not matter
00:16:21
if it's the positive version of the
00:16:22
negative version I'm going to do the
00:16:24
positive one and so I will hide first to
00:16:29
cover up my eye and so switch to blue
00:16:33
help see it so it's 18-12 18-12 is six
00:16:40
and then next one started from the
00:16:45
bottom 3-6
00:16:50
3-6 is negative 3 and find last one I
00:16:56
start at the top 14 minus 3 4 minus 3 is
00:17:01
1 now I need a unit vector that's
00:17:05
perpendicular that's a unit vector of
00:17:09
this find the magnitude magnitude is 36
00:17:14
plus 9 plus 1 which is equal to square
00:17:21
root of 46 so if i divide by this
00:17:24
magnitude this here is a unit vector
00:17:28
that is perpendicular to this plane ABC
00:17:34
finally the properties of cross product
00:17:36
well if I take a and I cross it with a
00:17:42
because they are parallel it's
00:17:44
impossible to choose one perpendicular
00:17:47
vector so this we call it zero vector
00:17:51
and yeah it's zero vector also from
00:17:56
there if I know if a cross being equal
00:17:58
zero and a and B are parallel that's
00:18:03
comes from here I also know that a cross
00:18:09
B we figured out was equal to B cross a
00:18:14
vector also have distributive property
00:18:16
so it's a cross B plus a cross C and
00:18:23
then finally we have this last one here
00:18:27
which is called a scalar triple product
00:18:32
you have to do this first and then u dot
00:18:37
product it and it has a big formula as
00:18:40
just as easy to actually do it this is
00:18:43
called the triple scalar scalar triple
00:18:46
product scalar triple
00:18:51
product you have to do this first even
00:18:55
if it's written as such this has to be
00:18:58
done first because knees make a scammer
00:19:02
value I can't multiply a scalar times a
00:19:06
vector in this sense okay so that is
00:19:09
your cross product lots of bits the
00:19:11
important part is cross product makes a
00:19:14
vector that is parallel to both it makes
00:19:20
this angle theta and the magnitude of a
00:19:23
cross B is equal to a B sine theta where
00:19:31
this is the area of the parallelogram
