Aims
The main aim of the experiment was to verify the vector cross product and its torque.
Other aims were to understand the mathematical model of carrying out the vector cross product and to determine the equilibrium in a system under torque.
Introduction
In the manipulation of vectors through multiplication two kind of products are achieved, the dot product and the cross product. The dot product of a vector is a scalar quantity and hence it only has magnitude. An example of scalar quantity is work done by a force.
The cross product of a vector produces a quantity that has both direction and magnitude. ...
