Question

How to calculate v=w×r

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

From the attached image, it can be concluded that (each quantity is a vector): w=r x v, also v=w x r, and r= v x w.

All three vectors are perpendicular to each other, therefore the intensity of each vector can be calculated by vector multiplication. Then (each quantity is a vector modulus): w=rv, v=wr, r=vw, this system of equations is true if w=v=r which mustn't be true. I need an explanation .
