Estimated student time to complete: 15-20 minutes
Prerequisite knowledge required: Text Section(s) 2.4
Solution:
The two vectors given are unit vectors. Therefore, each missing component can be found as:
qy 10.09 0.16 0.866
rx 0.768
10.25 0.16
Since p is perpendicular to the other two vectors, it is in the direction of the cross product of the
two. Therefore:
⎡⎢ i j k ⎤
⎥
p 0.3 0.866 0.4⎥ i 0.346 0.2 j 0.12 0.307 k 0.15 0.665
⎢
⎢⎣0.768 0.5 0.4⎥⎦
i 0.146 j 0.187 k 0.515
Since q and r are not perpendicular to each other, the resulting p is not a unit vector. Vector p can
be found as:
p i 0.146 j 0.187 k 0.515

Problem 2.3
Will the three vectors p, q, and r in Problem 2.2 form a traditional frame? If not, find the necessary
unit vector s to form a frame between p, q, and s.
Estimated student time to complete: 15-20 minutes
Prerequisite knowledge required: Text Section(s) 2.4
Solution:
As we saw in Problem 2.2, since q r is not a unit vector, it means that q and r and not
perpendicular to each other, and therefore, they cannot form a frame. However, p and q are
perpendicular to each other, and we can select s to be perpendicular to those two. Of course, p is
not a unit length, therefore we use the unit vector representing it.
