In this example (https://imgur.com/a/pTFIt) could i define F_1,2 in terms of r-hat_2,1 instead of r-hat_1,2?
The discussion centers on the possibility of defining F_1,2 using r-hat_2,1 instead of r-hat_1,2. Participants confirm that this is feasible, provided that the opposite directions of the vectors are considered. The key takeaway is that the directionality of the vectors must be accounted for when making such definitions in vector analysis.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in physics, mathematics, and engineering who are involved in vector analysis and require a deeper understanding of vector definitions and their directional properties.
Sure, why not? As long as you take into account that they have opposite directions.Ryan McParlan said:In this example (https://imgur.com/a/pTFIt) could i define F_1,2 in terms of r-hat_2,1 instead of r-hat_1,2?
