Cross Product of Two Vectors Example

The following statements show the use of the CROSSF function.

Statement

Assigned Value

NUMBER/A(3),B(3),C(3)

 

DATA/A,.866,.5,0

A(1)=.866,A(2)=.5,A(3)=0

DATA/B,.707,.707,0

B(1)=.707,B(2)=.707,B(3)=0

C=CROSSF(A,B)

C(1)=0,C(2)=0,C(3)=.259

When the vectors are reversed an opposite product is produced:

CROSSF(A,B)=-CROSSF(B,A)
