Given three vectors A = (2, -1, 4), B = (3, 3, 1), and C = (1, 0, 2), find A × (B × C).
💡 Hint: Remember vector identities and use distributive properties.
In a physics experiment, a force vector F = (5, 0, 0) is applied at a point on a lever arm R = (0, 3, 4). Calculate the torque produced by this force around the pivot point.
💡 Hint: Use the cross product to find torque, ensuring vector order matters!
