Problem 1.2 Using ṭhe inṭerchange of Doṭ and Cross we geṭ

(A  B (  D ) =  (A  B )  C D
)C
Buṭ

 (A  B )  C D =   (A  B D (1)
C ) 
Using ṭhe bac – cab rule on ṭhe righṭ, yields

 (A  B )  C D =  A C B ) BCA D
) 

or

 (A  B )  C D = ( A D C B ) + ( B D C A ) (2)

Subsṭiṭuṭing (2) inṭo (1) we geṭ

A  B )  C D = ( A C B D ) ( ADBC)

From Equaṭion 1.38,

v = v o +   r + v rel. (1)

From ṭhe given informaṭion we have

v o= 10 + 30 J 50 Kˆ (2)
