Question

A vector $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}$ points vertically upward and $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ points towards north. The vector product $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ is:

Along west.
Along east.
Zero.
Vertically downward.

✓

Answer

Along the west.

Explanation:

The vector product $\overrightarrow{\text{A}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ will point towards the west. We can determine this direction using the right hand thumb rule.
