Cross or Vector Product
where is the smaller angle between "A" and "B" and is a unit vector
normal to the plane determined by "A" and "B"
when they are drawn from a common point. The direction
of is the same as the direction of advance of a
right-hand screw where "A" is turned towards "B".
Cross or Vector Product
where:
– is the angle between A and B in the plane containing them
– is a unit vector perpendicular to the plane A and B in the direction
given by the right-hand rule.
