A question about the perpendicular vector

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenge of drawing a perpendicular vector correctly in relation to a reverse vector. Participants express uncertainty about the original drawing due to a lack of visibility in the attachment. There is a suggestion to start with a clear reference point to illustrate the desired perpendicular vector. Additionally, the importance of understanding the cross product is highlighted, with an invitation to share examples for better clarity. Overall, the conversation emphasizes collaborative learning in vector mathematics.

It's not clear from the attacement what is the full question?

Neither am I, because I cannot see what you did!
Start with number (1) and show us where you want to draw ##\vec B##:

We all are :smile: !
If it is the cross product itself that causes you problems, post a typical example.

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Thread 'Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes'

TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...

Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
