AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the expression 3C·(2A x B) using the provided vectors A, B, and C. The user initially computes 2A x B and arrives at the result 66i - 46j - 6k. However, they express confusion over the final calculation, as their app indicates an incorrect answer. Participants suggest re-evaluating the k component of 2A x B and emphasize the importance of attention to detail in such calculations. The user acknowledges their struggle with the assignment and seeks clarification on their approach.

For the following three vectors, what is 3C·(2A x B )?

A = 2.00i + 3.00j - 9.00k
B = -3.00i + 3.00j + 2.00k
C = 5.00i - 8.00j


2AxB=(12+54)+(8-54)+(12-18)

2AxB=66i - 46j -6k

3C·(2AxB)= (66x15)i + (-46x-24)j = 2094

the app is telling me it's incorrect. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! thanks in adv

Check your k component of 2AxB
 
looks like i was in the write spot sorry. checking...
 
isn't k irrelavtant considering Cz is zero
 
correction "right spot". I've been workin on this asssignment all day. I'm losing my attention to detail. Probably why I'm having trouble. lol

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
