what is the scalar triple product and vector triple product?
Scalar Triple product
When we multiply three vectors such that their resultant is a scalar quantity then this is called scalar triple product.
The mathematical expression for it is given as
(AXB). C
The scalar triple product represents the volume of a parallelepiped.
Vector triple product
If the product of three vectors results in a vector quantity, then it is called vector triple product. The mathematical representation is
AX(BXC)=B.(AC)-C.(AB)A. This is also called BAC-CAB rule.
