2.8 Given that Tij = 2Eij + Ekkij , show that
(a) T E = 2  E E +  ( E )2 and (b) T T = 4 2E E + (E )2 (4 + 3 2 )

Ans. (a)
Tij Eij = (2Eij + Ekkij )Eij = 2Eij Eij + Ekkij Eij = 2Eij Eij + Ekk Eii = 2Eij Eij + (Ekk )2 (b)
TijTij = (2Eij + Ekkij )(2Eij + Ekkij ) = 4 2 Eij Eij + 2Eij Ekkij + 2Ekkij Eij

2.9 Given that ai =Tijbj , and ai=Tijbj , where ai =Qimam and Tij =QimQjnTm n .
(a) Show that QimTm nbn = QimQjnTm nbj and (b) if Qik Qim =km , then Tkn (bn − Qjnbj ) = 0 .

Ans. (a) Since ai =Qimam and Tij =QimQjnTm n , therefore, ai =Tijbj → .
Qimam = QimQjnTmnbj (1), Now, ai=Tijbj → am =Tmjbj = Tmnbn , therefore, Eq. (1) becomes
Qi mTm nbn = Qi mQj nTm nbj . (2)
(b) To remove Qim from Eq. (2), we make use of Qik Qim =km by multiplying the above equation,
Eq.(2) with Qik . That is,
QikQimTmnbn = QikQimQjnTmnbj → kmTmnbn = kmQjnTmnbj → Tknbn = QjnTknbj
→ Tkn (bn − Qjnbj ) = 0 .

the same as dk = (a  b)  ek .


Ans. dk = ijk aibj →
d1 = ij1aibj = 231a2b3 + 321a3b2 = a2b3 − a3b2 = (2)(3) − (0)(2) = 6 d2 = ij2aibj =
312a3b1 + 132a1b3 = a3b1 − a1b3 = (0)(0) − (1)(3) = −3 d3 = ij3aibj = 123a1b2 + 213a2b1

3e2 + 2e3 .
d1 = (a  b)  e1 = 6, d2 = (a  b)  e2 = −3, d3 = (a  b)  e3 = 2 .
