Options:
A) Zero
B) Along west
C) Along east
D) Vertically downward
Correct Answer: B Direction of vector A is along z-axis \ $ \vec{A}=a\hat{k} $ Direction of vector B is towards north \ $ \vec{B}=b\hat{j} $ Now $ \vec{A}\times \vec{B}=a\hat{k}\times b\hat{j}=ab(-\hat{j}) $ \ The direction is $ \vec{A}\times \vec{B} $ is along west.
