PROBLEM 3.15
Form the vector products Bx C and B'xC, where B = B', and use the
results obtained to prove the identity
sina cos 8 = Ssin (a + 8) ++sin(a— 6).
SOLUTION
First note B = B(cos fi + sin Bj)
c
B' = B(cos fi - sin Bj)
C=C(cosai + sinaj)
By definition |BxC|= BCsin(a - 8) (1)
|B'xC|= BCsin(o + 6) 2)
Now BxC = B(cos fi + sin Bj) x C(cosai + sina)
= BC(cos Bsina — sin Bcosa)k (3)
BxC = B(cos fi - sin j) x C(cosci + sinaj)
= BC(cos Bsina + sin Bcosa:)k (4)
Equating magnitudes of Bx C from Equations (1) and (3), (5)
sin(a — 8) = cos sina — sin Bcosa
Similarly, equating magnitudes of B' x C from Equations (2) and (4),
sin(a + 8) = cos Bsina + sin Bcosa (6)
Adding Equations (5) and (6)
sin(a — 8) + sin(a + 8) = 2cos Bsina
sinacosB = asin(a +B)+ asin(a -B)4
