Show your solution. Use A4 bond paper or the clean side of an old handout.
Do the following:
2. Given:
A=i+j B = 2i + j – k
(a) Plot A and B on the Cartesian coordinate system.
(b) Find RAB, the vector joining the points indicated by A and B.
Obtain the differential length vectors tangential to the curve at the following points:
(a) (2, 0, 0)
(b) (1, 1, 1)
(c) (-2, 4, 2)
2. By considering two differential length vectors tangential to the surface x2 + y2 +2z2 = 4 at the point (1, 1, 1), find
the unit vector normal to the surface.
3. Consider the differential surface lying on the plane 2x + y =2 and having as its projection on the xz-plane the
rectangular differential surface of sides dx and dz in the x- and z- directions, respectively. Obtain the expression
for the vector dS associated with that surface.
