Vector (Cross) Product

What is the linear velocity if angular velocity vector ω⃗=3i^−4j^+k^\vec{\omega} = 3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + \hat{k} and position vector r⃗=5i^−6j^+6k^\vec{r} = 5\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Linear velocity v⃗=ω⃗×r⃗\vec{v} = \vec{\omega} \times \vec{r}.
  2. v⃗=i^[(−4)(6)−(1)(−6)]−j^[(3)(6)−(1)(5)]+k^[(3)(−6)−(−4)(5)]\vec{v} = \hat{i}[(-4)(6) - (1)(-6)] - \hat{j}[(3)(6) - (1)(5)] + \hat{k}[(3)(-6) - (-4)(5)]
  3. =−18i^−13j^+2k^= -18\hat{i} - 13\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}
  4. So the answer is (b) −18i^−13j^+2k^-18\hat{i} - 13\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}.
