Vector Analysis
Quiz #2

Direction: Use a prescribed bluebook to show you solutions to the following items.

1. Find 6,0, 2 0,8,0.

2. Find the area of the triangle with vertices (1,2,3), (1,3,6), (3,5,6).

3. Find two vectors orthogonal to both = 1,2,1 and = 3,1,0. What other
vectors are orthogonal to both and ?

4. Given a force F applied to the tool as shown.

In finding the magnitude of the moment of
this force about the xaxis, a plan has been
made consisting the following steps:
a. Find in Cartesian vector form.
b. Use the equation, = ( ),
where is the unit vector along the
-axis, is the position vector from
O to A, and is the force vector.

Your task is to find the magnitude of

moment by implementing the plan.
