Because the tip of the pin has a very small area, therefore greater pressure. the area of the pin pressing on the thumb is much greater.

Determine the vector perpendicular to the plane of A= 31+ 6j - 2k and B=4i-j +3k
Sliva [168]

The vector perpendicular to the plane of A = 3i+ 6j - 2k and B = 4i-j +3k is 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Let r be the vector perpendicular to A and B,

r = A * B

A = 3i + 6j - 2k

B = 4i - j + 3k

a1 = 3

a2 = 6

a3 = - 2

b1 = 4

b2 = - 1

b3 = 3

a * b = ( a2 b3 - b2 a3 ) i + ( a3 b1 - b3 a1 ) j + ( a1 b2 - b1 a2 ) k

a * b = [ ( 6 * 3 ) - ( - 1 * - 2 ) ] i + [ ( - 2 * 4 ) - ( 3 * 3 ) ] j + [ ( 3 * - 1 ) - ( 4 * 6 ) ] k

a * b = 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

The perpendicular vector, r = 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Therefore, the vector perpendicular to the plane of A = 3i + 6j - 2k and B = 4i - j + 3k is 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Testing

Explanation:

Ancient Greek philosophers lived with the ideology to simply contemplate life. This means that their whole life revolved around thinking and questioning everything. This would include creative thinking, because they would sometimes come up with theories which require creativeness. They would often debate with their friends as to why their theory should be accepted or what their opinions were on the matter. More often than not, they argued a lot, and many philosophers went against some powerful people in the community and some were even sentenced to death.

The main process they didn't/couldn't do was the testing. They could never test certain theories because they did not have the means to.
