Anyone know how would I simplify a cross product where the two vectors have coefficients? For example (x/(y^3))\bar{r} X (x/(y))\bar{L}
Thanks!
Thanks!
The discussion focuses on simplifying the cross product of two vectors with coefficients, specifically the expression (x/(y^3))\bar{r} X (x/(y))\bar{L}. The key conclusion is that coefficients can be factored out of the cross product, leading to the formula (a\vec{u})\times(b\vec{v})= ab (\vec{u}\times \vec{v}). This method streamlines calculations involving vector cross products with scalar multipliers.
