Introduction:
In this paper, we will prove that linear mass density and
surface mass density are vector, and the application of mass
vector is presented.
1. The unit of vector.
In physics, The unit of three-dimensional cartesian coordinate
systems is meter. In this paper, a point of 3-D coordinate
system is written as
(p1,p2,p3) m, or (p:3) m
and a vector is written as
<a,b,c> m, or <a:3> m
or
l m<i,j,k> = <a,b,c> m
where l=abs(sqrt(a^2+b^2+c^2)) is the magnitude of the vector,
and <i,j,k> is a unit vector which gives the direction of
the vector.
For three reasons, a magnitude of a vector can not add to a
scalar:
i) The magnitude belongs to the set of vector; it's a
portion of a vector. Scalar belongs to a field.
ii) The magnitude is real non-negative number, but scalar
is real number.
iii) The unit of magnitude is meter, but scalar has no unit.
This is a major difference between physics and mathematics.
5m+3 is meaningless.
2. Linear mass density is a vector.
The mass of a string is M kg, and the length of the string
is l m<i:3>. Where l m is the magnitude of the length, and
<i:3> is a 3-D unit vector which gives the direction of the
string. Then the linear mass density of the string is:
M/(l<i:3>)=(M/l) (kg/m)<i:3>
The direction, <i:3>, is not changed by "division", so we
can move <i:3> from denominator to numerator. A direction
is changed by -1 only. A proof is found in Clifford algebras:
[Proof]
k/<a,b,c>=[k<a,b,c>]/[<a,b,c>^2]
=(k/l) <i,j,k>
where l is the magnitude of <a,b,c>, and <i,j,k> is the
unit vector of <a,b,c>.
[Proof]
3. Surface mass density is a vector.
A parallelogram has two vectors: l m<i:3> and h m<j:3>. <i:3>
and <j:3> are unit vectors. The area vector of the parallelogram
is the cross product of these two vectors.
l m<i:3> X h m<j:3>= lh (m^2 )<i:3>X<j:3>
= lh abs(sin(theta)) (m^2)<k:3>
Where theta is the angle between <i:3> and <j:3>. <k:3> is
a unit vector which is perpendicular to <i:3> and <j:3>.
For AXB=-BXA, an area has two directions.
We can divide the area vector by the length vector.
lh*abs(sin(theta))<k:3>/[l<i:3>]
=h<i:3>X<j:3>/<i:3>
=h(<i:3>X<j:3>)X<i:3>
(The direction, <i:3>, is not changed by "division", and
the division is replaced by a cross product.)
=-h<i:3>X(<i:3>X<j:3>)
=-h[<i:3>(<i:3>o<j:3>)-<j:3>(<i:3>o<i:3>)]
(where o is dot product.)
=-h(cos(theta)<i:3>-<j:3>)
=h(<j:3>-cos(theta)<i:3>) m
The result is a rectangle, not the original parallelogram. We
can test the result.
h(<j:3>-cos(theta)<i:3>)Xl<i:3>=lh m^2<j:3>X<i:3>
The magnitude of the area vector is conserved, but the direction
is opposite.
The mass of a round plate is M kg, and the area vector is
A m^2<i:3>; then the surface mass density is
M kg/(A m^2<i:3>)=M/A (kg/m^2)<i:3>
4. Mass vector in physics.
Mass vector has been found in two equations: 1) the velocity
equation of string. 2) Bernoulli's equation.
i) For waves on a string, we have the velocity equation:
v=sqrt(tau/mu). v is velocity of wave, tau is tension
applying to string, and mu is linear mass density of
string. We can rewrite the equation:
mu=tau/v^2.
In the above equation, the mu is parallel to tau, and both
of them are vector.
ii) Bernoulli's equation is:
P + k*v^2/2=C (P is pressure, k is volume density, and v is
velocity. Here we neglect the gravitational term.)
Multiplying cross area vector A m^2<i:3> of a string to Bernoulli's
equation(where <i:3> is a unit vector),
P*A<i:3> + k*A<i:3>*v^2/2=C*A<i:3>
F<i:3> + L<i:3>*v^2/2=C*A<i:3>
(where F is the magnitude of force, and L is the magnitude
of linear mass density.)
These two equations are well used in the theory "Magnetic force:
Combining Drag force and Bernoulli force of ether dynamics."

Your terminology will confuse those who are actually educated because
<a,b,c> is actually the triple scalar product of a,b,c multiplied by a

Taking the absolute value of a manifestly positive object is pointless.
Your nonstandard way of expressing vectors should be corrected.

Good question!!!
An area vector is A m^2<i:3>. <i:3> is a unit vector.
What's the result of sqrt( A m^2<i:3> )? Or what's a
square giving the area vector A m^2<i:3>?
We can find a pair of vectors of a square: l m<j:3> and
l m<k:3>. <j:3> and <k:3> are unit vector. These two
vectors meet:
i) l^2=A.
ii) <j:3>X<k:3>=<i:3>. These three vectors are perpendicular
to each other.
In fact, we can find infinite pairs of vectors on a plane which
meet i) and ii).

Dear PD,
Thank you for your comment. The vector of linear density and surface
density have been used for a long time.
Current density(J) is a surface density and a vector; its unit is
A/m^2.
Electric field(E) is linear density and a vector; Its unit is V/m.
Displacement(D) is surface density and a vector; Its unit is coul/m^2.

First of all, I find it interesting that you define anything that has a
power of length in the denominator as a density. That's not completely
unreasonable.
But to assume that because *one* quantity has density-like units and is
a vector does not mean that *all* quantities that have comparable units
are also vectors.
I'll give you an example of this. Torque and energy have identical
units: N-m. However, one is explicity defined as a scalar quantity and
the other is explicity defined as a vector quantity. No comparison of
the units can gloss over the fact that the two quantities are
inherently different in nature. They *behave* differently under
coordinate transformations.
PD
Dear PD,
Thank you for your question. I suggest different notations
for them: N X m (X is cross product) for torque and Nm for energy.

An interesting suggestion but not generally required. There is also the
subtlety when one is referring to a vector quantity or the (scalar)
magnitude of the same vector quantity, as you've noticed.

The equation of magnetic force is "vector division by vector".
F=iLXB (X is corss product).
L is a length vector; assuming L=l m<i:3>, <i:3> is a unit vector.
B is magnetic flux density. Its unit is tesla, or Wb/m^2. Wb, Weber,
is the unit of magnetic flux. Assuming
B= b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>, <j:3> is a unit vector.
Since B is a vector of surface density, we can rewrite it:
B= b Wb/(m^2<j:3>), <j:3> is moved to denominator.
LXB= l m<i:3> X b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>
= l m<i:3> * b Wb /(m^2<j:3>)
= lb Wb m<i:3>/(m^2<j:3>)
It's VDV.

In the above, the "area vector division by length vector" is suggested.
We can divide a length vector by a velocity in a different way.
Assuming
a length vector is l m<i:3>, and a velocity is v (m/s) <j:3>. <i:3> and
<j:3> are unit vectors.
l m<i:3> / [ v (m/s) <j:3> ]
=l <i:3>o<j:3> / v s
<j:3> is moved to numerator. o is dot product.
=l cos(theta) / v s ---------(1)
theta is the angle between two vectors.
OR
v (m/s)<j:3> / [ l m<i:3> ]
=v cos(theta) / l s^(-1) --------(2)
Both length vector and area vector have two directions; we can choose
one of their directions to keep cos(theta)>0.
(1)*(2)=(cos(theta))^2 (The result is not 1.)
We can caculate pressure=force/area with same method.

Vector division is not a defined operation for vectors.
[snip]
Length vector division by velocity gives two solutions:
l cos(theta) / v s or l / (v cos(theta)) s. Depending
on your application, you choose one operation.

Correction: It should be cos(theta)>=0.
If negative time is your application, then cos(theta)>=0 is
unnecessary.
Dear Eric,

Mathematically I prove that Einstein was ill-trained on three
dimensional vector algebra. ^_^
<i,j,k> is not a unit vector. It has a magnitude of sqrt(3)

That doesn't mean that you can call mass a vector. Mass is a scalar which
has a value at every point on the string. As you have it there are two
vectors each of which are tangent to the string and point in opposite
directions.

Vector of linear mass density and vector of surface mass
density are a long name; shortly I call them mass vector.

Why?
Uh, because it is not a defined operaton?
What is the result from dividing the unit vector "i" by the unit vector
"j" ?

Are we forbidden to define it?
Nope - but due the existence problem you need to demonstrate one exists
before defining it. And if memory serves me correctly a theorem says you
can't do it for 3 dimensions. You can for four but assocativty goes out
then window and higher dimensions are even more problematical. You are
welcome to try however - but to speak of a multiplicative inverse you need
to define it and demonstrate it is an inverse.
What I don't understand about your type is why with zero actual knowledge of
a subject you believe it is wrong and you can revolutionaries it.

Yea - and it is a total fable. He had a letter from his high school teacher
confirming his math was already of university standard. At uni he did not
do well because he was a lazy sod - but never actually failed. Which
instead of suggesting you don't need to study confirms you do - even a
genius like Einstein did not do well when he didn't.

Dear Bill,
Can you tell me how you get the following three kind of vectors?
Current density(J) is a surface density and a vector; its unit is
A/m^2.
Electric field(E) is linear density and a vector; Its unit is V/m.
Displacement(D) is surface density and a vector; Its unit is coul/m^2.
Reference: Classical Electrodynamics(J.D. Jackson) p.820
If you have difficulties with vectors I suggest you stay far, far away

Do not change subject; answer the question. (^_^)
The quantities are defined to be vectors and are operated on by tools
from vector analysis and calculus. You are inventing your own tools
because you have no clue what you are doing.
With Clifford's method, we can get the same result. Do you have
any strong reason to reject Clifford's method?
In 3D VECTOR algebra, we have to divide a mass by a length
VECTOR, and linear mass density is a VECTOR.
Idiot.
Dear Bill,
Thank you for the information you provide. You were misled by
mathematician. Mathematicians play vectors without unit(meter
for example); that's not for physicists.
Area = Length * Height
Height = Area / Length
I learned the above equations when I was a pupil in elementary
school. Dividing an area by a length, we always get the height
of a rectangle(although infinite number of parallelograms have
the same area and length).
Physicists have been doing vector-by-vector-division for a
hundred years. The equation of magnetic force is "vector division
by vector".
F=iLXB (X is corss product).
L is a length vector; assuming L=l m<i:3>, <i:3> is a unit vector.
B is magnetic flux density. Its unit is tesla, or Wb/m^2. Wb, Weber,
is the unit of magnetic flux. Assuming
B= b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>, <j:3> is a unit vector.
Since B is a vector of surface density, we can rewrite it:
B= b Wb/(m^2<j:3>), <j:3> is moved to denominator.
LXB= l m<i:3> X b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>
= l m<i:3> * b Wb /(m^2<j:3>)
= lb Wb m<i:3>/(m^2<j:3>)
It's VDV.
A meter is a length, not a direction. You have no idea what you are
talking about.
[snip idiocy]
No, you don't. Feel free to write down the expression in terms of
the clifford algebra.

Wrong. Given a linear mass density lying along -a < x < a, what
direction does it point?
Well, I'm a physicist and as far as I can tell, you haven't yet
said anything that makes an physical sense, regardless of what you
want to claim about mathematics.

Clifford proves k / <a,b,c> = k<a,b,c> / <a,b,c>^2
[Proof]
k/<a,b,c>=[k<a,b,c>]/[<a,b,c>^2]
=(k/l) <i,j,k>
where l=sqrt(a^2+b^2+c^2) is the magnitude of <a,b,c>,

We are talking about 3D vector algebra, your question is 1D.
two points : (-a, y, z) m and (a, y, z) m (m is meter).
length vector: (a,y,z)m - (-a,y,z)m = <2a,0,0>m
mass of a straight wire between the above two points is M kg.
linear mass density = M kg / <2a,0,0>m
= (M/2a) <1,0,0> kg/m
Define your notation.

According to mathematician's opinion:
"Again there are two unknowns, |V| and u, in the equation so there are
infinitely many answers. Therefore cross division is also undefined."
---- http://www.mcasco.com/qa_vdq.html
That's not true. Stupid mathematicians hinder the development
of 3D vector algebra.
An area vector is A<i:3>m^2, and its length is l<j:3>m.
where <i:3> and <j:3> are unit vectors and m is meter.
We can divide the area vector by the length vector, and
we get the height(vector) of rectangle.
A<i:3>m^2 / l<j:3>m
=(A/l) <i:3>x<j:3> m (x is cross product)
=(A*sin(theta)/l) <k:3> m (<k:3>=(<i:3>x<j:3>)/sin(theta))
where theta is the angle between <i:3> and <j:3>.
<k:3> is a unit vector and perpendicular to <i:3> and <j:3>.
Or
A<i:3>m^2 / l<j:3>m
=A/(l <i:3>x<j:3>) m
=A/(l*sin(theta)) <k:3> m

As soon as you accept Clifford's method, you will realize that
LXB is vector by vector division.

Yet for all your idiotic notation, you are unable to demonstrate that

Inverse of a vector is widely accepted by mathematicians and
physicists.
A^(-1) = 1/A = A/A^2 (where A is a vector)

You said ``division by a vector.'' Don't change the subject.
>A^(-1) = 1/A = A/A^2 (where A is a vector)
Note that the denominator is a scalar.
Yesterday, I studied quaternion; Hamilton had defined vector
division.
Q=A/B (Q is quaternion. A and B are two vectors.)
Q.w = A dot B / B^2 ----- (3)
Q.v = AXB / B^2 ----- (4)
Please refer to:
http://www.euclideanspace.com/maths/algebra/vectors/inverse/forum2.htm
Equation (3) is applied to divide a length vector(L) by a velocity(V).
L/V = (L dot V) / V^2 or
L/V = L^2 / (L dot V)
Equation (4) is applied to divide an area vector(A) by a length
vector(L).
A/L = AXL / L^2 or
A/L = A^2 / AXL
You may find the above applications in this thread.
Now, you are well-trained in 3D vector algebra BY ME. ^_^
The proof of mass vector.
Ka-In Yen
http://www.geocities.com/redlorikee
Introduction:
In this paper, we will prove that linear mass density and
surface mass density are vector, and the application of mass
vector is presented.
1. The unit of vector.
In physics, The unit of three-dimensional cartesian coordinate
systems is meter. In this paper, a point of 3-D coordinate
system is written as
(p1,p2,p3) m, or (p:3) m
and a vector is written as
<a,b,c> m, or <a:3> m
or
l m<i,j,k> = <a,b,c> m
where l=abs(sqrt(a^2+b^2+c^2)) is the magnitude of the vector,
and <i,j,k> is a unit vector which gives the direction of
the vector.
For three reasons, a magnitude of a vector can not add to a
scalar:
i) The magnitude belongs to the set of vector; it's a
portion of a vector. Scalar belongs to a field.
ii) The magnitude is real non-negative number, but scalar
is real number.
iii) The unit of magnitude is meter, but scalar has no unit.
This is a major difference between physics and mathematics.
5m+3 is meaningless.
2. Linear mass density is a vector.
The mass of a string is M kg, and the length of the string
is l m<i:3>. Where l m is the magnitude of the length, and
<i:3> is a 3-D unit vector which gives the direction of the
string. Then the linear mass density of the string is:
M/(l<i:3>)=(M/l) (kg/m)<i:3>
The direction, <i:3>, is not changed by "division", so we
can move <i:3> from denominator to numerator. A direction
is changed by -1 only. A proof is found in Clifford algebras:
[Proof]
k/<a,b,c>=[k<a,b,c>]/[<a,b,c>^2]
=(k/l) <i,j,k>
where l is the magnitude of <a,b,c>, and <i,j,k> is the
unit vector of <a,b,c>.
[Proof]
3. Surface mass density is a vector.
A parallelogram has two vectors: l m<i:3> and h m<j:3>. <i:3>
and <j:3> are unit vectors. The area vector of the parallelogram
is the cross product of these two vectors.
l m<i:3> X h m<j:3>= lh (m^2 )<i:3>X<j:3>
= lh abs(sin(theta)) (m^2)<k:3>
Where theta is the angle between <i:3> and <j:3>. <k:3> is
a unit vector which is perpendicular to <i:3> and <j:3>.
For AXB=-BXA, an area has two directions.
We can divide the area vector by the length vector.
lh*abs(sin(theta))<k:3>/[l<i:3>]
=h<i:3>X<j:3>/<i:3>
=h(<i:3>X<j:3>)X<i:3>
(The direction, <i:3>, is not changed by "division", and
the division is replaced by a cross product.)
=-h<i:3>X(<i:3>X<j:3>)
=-h[<i:3>(<i:3>o<j:3>)-<j:3>(<i:3>o<i:3>)]
(where o is dot product.)
=-h(cos(theta)<i:3>-<j:3>)
=h(<j:3>-cos(theta)<i:3>) m
The result is a rectangle, not the original parallelogram. We
can test the result.
h(<j:3>-cos(theta)<i:3>)Xl<i:3>=lh m^2<j:3>X<i:3>
The magnitude of the area vector is conserved, but the direction
is opposite.
The mass of a round plate is M kg, and the area vector is
A m^2<i:3>; then the surface mass density is
M kg/(A m^2<i:3>)=M/A (kg/m^2)<i:3>
4. Mass vector in physics.
Mass vector has been found in two equations: 1) the velocity
equation of string. 2) Bernoulli's equation.
i) For waves on a string, we have the velocity equation:
v=sqrt(tau/mu). v is velocity of wave, tau is tension
applying to string, and mu is linear mass density of
string. We can rewrite the equation:
mu=tau/v^2.
In the above equation, the mu is parallel to tau, and both
of them are vector.
ii) Bernoulli's equation is:
P + k*v^2/2=C (P is pressure, k is volume density, and v is
velocity. Here we neglect the gravitational term.)
Multiplying cross area vector A m^2<i:3> of a string to Bernoulli's
equation(where <i:3> is a unit vector),
P*A<i:3> + k*A<i:3>*v^2/2=C*A<i:3>
F<i:3> + L<i:3>*v^2/2=C*A<i:3>
(where F is the magnitude of force, and L is the magnitude
of linear mass density.)
These two equations are well used in the theory "Magnetic force:
Combining Drag force and Bernoulli force of ether dynamics."
For detail, please refer to my site:
http://www.geocities.com/redlorikee
There is no mass, it is just an illusion created by frequency.
What you think of as rest mass is simply:
m = fC.h / c^2
fC is the Compton frequency,
h is Planck's constant,
c is the speed of light.
Just one. Why do you persist in posting this crap?

In 3D vector algebra, we have to divide a mass by a length vector; so
the linear mass density is a vector, and its direction is same to the
length vector.
Division is not a defined operation in Euclidian vector analysis.

LENGTH IS NOT A VECTOR.
AREA IS NOT A VECTOR.

of pseudo-operations matlab defines as a convenience.

You need a remedial course in vector algebra. Length is a scalar.
The length of a vector, V is defined by L = sqrt(V.V). A linear
mass density is a scalar.
The answer is in this thread.
Length-vector is a vector.

and direction.

Try referencing things that are actually relevant.
Do'nt waste time to find inverse of cross product, it's impossible.
To find inverse of cross product, you have to find identity first.
To any vector A, we have
AXI = A (where I is the identity of cross product.)
Unfortunately, the above equation is totally impossible to solve.
So there is no identity of cross product, and there is no inverse
of cross product. This is an intrinsic property of cross product,
and also dot product.
But Clifford proves the inverse of a vector:
A^(-1) = 1/A = A/A^2

It is neither the fault of Chinese (which Chinese? There is a bunch)
nor English that you do not know what you are talking about.
Hamilton had defined vector divisoion in 1845. I had posted
this message before.

Please read the following page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_product
and you will find:
"It is defined as the vector which is perpendicular
to both a and b with a magnitude equal to the
area of the parallelogram they span."
This is what I am talking about.
Stupid physicists have been doing vector by vector division
for a hundred years. They need a remedial course in vector
algebra, not me.

That's not 3D vector algebra.

There is no unique solution A to the matrix equation y=Ax unless x is
parallel to y, in which case A is a scalar. Therefore, vector division
is not defined.
http://www.mcasco.com/qa_vdq.html
Division may be thought of as unmultiplying...you know, find the number
which when multiplied by 3 yields 6. In this example the answer is
obviously 2. In vectors there are two ways of multiplying, the dot
product and the cross product. Vector division then should either undot
a vector and a scalar or uncross a pair of vectors.
The difficulty is that there are more than one vector that when dotted
with (a,b) yields 6, for example. We know this because the dot product
of (a,b)(c,d) is ac+bd=6. If we know a and b there are still two
unknowns in the equation ac+bd=6. Any pair if numbers which satisfy
this equation would qualify as the quotient of 6/(a,b). Therefore dot
division is not defined. Likewise there are infinitely many vectors
which when crossed with (a,b,c) give us (d,e,f). Consider that
AXB=C=|A||B|sin(q), where q is the angle from A to B. Any vector V in
the plane of A and B where |V|sin(u)=|B|sin(q) will yield the same
cross product. Again there are two unknowns, |V| and u, in the equation
so there are infinitely many answers. Therefore cross division is also
undefined.

Good for you. Why don't you look at the previous responses to the times
you have pointed this out, and look at the responses given to you
today.

MAGNITUDE IS A SCALAR.
Goddamn you are stupid. Go read a book that covers vector analysis and
stop inventing idiotic terminology.
We can (and do, under various occasions) use "pseudoinverses" in
linear algebra. These occur when using singular matrices. While, of
course, for a singular matrix A the inverse A^(-1) doesn't exist, one
can define pseudoinverse of A a matrix A^(~1) such that for every
vector fully in the "non null" subspace corresponding to A you've
A^(~1)*Av = v. such a pseudoinverse exists though, again, it is not
unique. No problem. In fact one can view the commonly used Green's
functions as just such pseudoinverses.
So, in a similar sense, division by a vector can be defined, though it
is not unique. And uniqueness can be provided by adding an additional
condition, for example taking as the multiplicative inverse of v the
shortest of all vectors such that v /dot v^(-1) = 1.

Yep the latter bit did add the disclaimer "not uniquely" but I thought
it was worth pushing his way ;-)

Dear Eric Gisse,
How long do you need to solve this problem? I am waiting
for your answer. You can discuss with Bilge and Puddleduck,
if the problem is difficult.

Why should any of us waste our time with your BS?

The problem is that you are wrong. Since only you can correct
that problem, it will be impossile for anyone but you to solve.
Please continue waiting.
Dear Eric Gisse,
You can run, but you can't hide.
Do you have any question to solve this problem?
Goose will say it's moving at velocity v and divide by sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
