Parallelogram, area

Since this is the energy per cm.2 in one cycle, the power per cm.2 of parellelogram area is obtained by multiplying the energy per cycle by the frequency in reciprocal seconds. The parallelogram area can be determined by planimeter measurement of a Polaroid picture, or by direct measurement.

From fee definition of fee vector product given above, it is clear that fee magnitude of fee vector C in Eq. (22) is equal to the area of the parallelogram defined by fee vectors A and B which describe its sides. However, there are two problems associated wife this definition. First of all, the direction of fee vector C is ambiguous in fee absence of a convention. It is usually assumed, however, feat fee "right-hand rule" applies. Thus, if the first finger of the right... 

What is the difference in area between a square with a base of 4 inches, a slant of 6 inches, and a height of 4 inches and a parallelogram with a base of 4 inches, a slant of 6 inches, and a height of 4 inches ... 

Look up the formula for the area of a parallelogram and calculate the area per mole, assuming one molecule per unit mesh. Compare this area with the Pt(lll) unit mesh for which the dimensions are also given. Do the data make any more sense if it is assumed that some of these alkanes form surface structures with two molecules per unit mesh Prepare a plot of the area per molecule versus the number of carbon atoms in the chain. Criticize or defend the following proposition The amount of free area per unit mesh in these packings is equivalent to one Pt mesh. 

Figure 8-27 shows three planar networks based on the same plane lattice. Two and only two lines intersect in each point of all three networks. Accordingly, the parallelograms of all three networks have the same area. All of them are unit cells, in fact, primitive cells. Each of these parallelograms is determined by two sides a and b, and the angle y between them. These are called the cell parameters. 

Figure 1.11. The vector product [b x c] defines a new vector whose magnitude is given by the area of the parallelogram forming the base of the parallelepiped and whose direction is perpendicular to the plane of b and c. The scalar triple product is thus the area of the parallelogram multiplied by the projection of the slant height of a on the vector [f> x c].

The lengths and directions of the vectors b x c, c x a, and axb of equation (22) are easily determined. For example, the vector axb has the length equal to the area of the parallelogram defined by the vectors a and b, and has the direction perpendicular to both a and b, as shown in (26). The positive direction of a x 6 is obtained according to the right-handed screw convention rotate a around the axis of ax b toward b as if to advance a right-handed screw. Then the screw-advancing direction is the positive direction of axb. 

The area of a parallelogram is equal to the length of its base times the length of its altitude.

In other words, the length of the vector V3 is equal to the area of the parallelogram formed by the vectors Vj and V2 (shaded in Figure 1.39), and its direction is perpendicular to the plane of the parallelogram. 

The magnitude of c is simply the area of the parallelogram constructed on a and b, as suggested by Fig. Al-2. The direction of c is that in which a right-hand screw would move if rotated in such a way as to bring a into b. It follows from this that the direction of the vector product c is reversed if the order of multiplication is reversed, or that...

The vector product of a and b provides a route for calculating the area of a parallelogram. We explore this method in Worked Problem 5.5.
