Can someone please explain to me why it is that the direction of a cross product is perpendicular to the plane of the original vectors? What is the physical significance of this? I mean, if I take torque as an example, what the hell does it mean to say that the direction of the torque is perpendicular to the plane of 'action'. What is the torque doing in that plane?
