K/U
1. If = (3, 1, 2), = (5, 2, 3) and = (2, 5, 1), determine:
a) + b)










c) the angle between and












d) If , and are coplanar

















2. If = 6 and = 8 and the angle between these two vectors is 1200, determine the
exact value for each of the following:
a) b) +












c)













3. Determine the values of and such that = 18 24 + and = + 3 4 are
collinear.

4. Express = 5, 7, 20 as a linear combination of = (2, 3, 7) and = (2, 4, 2).




























5. When a wrench is rotated, the magnitude of the torque is 15 J. A 75 N force is applied 25
cm from the point of rotation. Determine the acute angle that the force makes with the
wrench.













6. Using the vectors = (3, 3, 1) and = (1, 2, 3), verify that the following formula is
true:
1 1
= + i i
4 4
























7. Use the cross product to determine the angle between = 5, 4, 1 and =
3, 2, 7 . Then use the dot product to verify your answer.
