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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
