Get started for freeIn equation (5.16), show that if is a tensor (that is, not a pseudotensor), then is a pseudovector (axial vector). Also show that if is a pseudotensor, then is a vector (true or polar vector). You know that if role="math" localid="1659251751142" is a cross product of polar vectors, then it is a pseudovector. Is its dual a tensor or a pseudotensor?
Show that the fourth expression in (3.1) is equal to . By equations (2.6) and (2.10) , show that , so
Compare this with equation (2.12) to show thatis a Cartesian vector. Hint: Watch the summation indices carefully and if it helps, put back the summation signs or write sums out in detail as in (3.1) until you get used to summation convention.
Use equations (9.2), (9.8), and (9.11) to evaluate the following expressions. In spherical coordinates .
Show that the contracted tensor is a -rank tensors.
If role="math" localid="1659267226224" is a contravariant vector and is a covariant vector, show thatis a -rank mixed tensor. Hint:Write the transformation equations for U and V and multiply them.
