Darnit, on second thought maybe I do not have it then. My fingers are pointing up to the right regarding the cosine and I curl my fingers towards point A my thumb sort of goes to the left I am not sure if I can say if its outwards or inwards.
Aha, thanks Jay! I think I got the hang of it, but yeah definitely it does hurt your wrist. I did catch my thumb slightly pointing towards me which is a good sign because they were both clockwise.
I wasn't really able to grasp the idea of the right hand rule. My professor is always just waving her hands around and didn't explain it well enough, can you explain to me quickly how I would use the right hand rule?
