approach: without loss of generality we take r and F to be in the xy plane and will show that has no x and y components (that it is parallel to the k direction). We proceed as follows: in the general + y + z k, we will set z = 0 to constrain r to the xy plane, and similarly for F . Using expression r = xi j Eq. 3-30, we nd r F is equal to (yFz zFy ) + (zFx xFz ) + (xFy yFx ) k i j and once we set z = 0 and Fz = 0 we obtain = r F = (xFy yFx ) k which demonstrates that has no component in the xy plane.
