2.9 Given that ai =Tijbj , and ai =Ti jb j, where ai =Qimam and Tij =QimQjnTm n.
(a) Show that QimTm nbn QimQjnTm nbj and (b) if Qik Qim = km , then Tk n (bn Qjnbj ) 0.
Ans. (a) Since ai =Qimam and Tij =QimQ jnTm n, therefore, ai =Tijbj .
Qimam QimQjnTm nbj (1), Now, ai =Tij b j am =Tm jb j Tm nbn , therefore, Eq. (1) becomes
Qi mTm nbn Qi mQj nTm nbj . (2)
(b) To remove Qim from Eq. (2), we make use of Qik Qim = km by multiplying the above equation,
Eq.(2) with Qik . That is,

2.19 A transformation T operate on any vector a to give Ta = a / a , where a is the magnitude
of a . Show that T is not a linear transformation.
a a+ b a b
Ans. Since Ta = for any a , therefore T(a + b) = . Now Ta + Tb
a a+ b a b
therefore T(a + b) Ta + Tb and T is not a linear transformation.
2.20 (a) A tensor T transforms every vector a into a vector Ta = m a where m is a specified
vector. Show that T is a linear transformation and (b) If m = e1 e2 , find the matrix of the
tensor T .
Ans. (a) T( a + b) m ( a + b) m a +m b= m a+ m b= Ta + Tb.
Thus, the given T is a linear transformation.
(b) Te1 = m e1 (e1 e2 ) e1 e3 , Te2 = m e2 (e1 e2 ) e2 e3 ,
Te3 = m e3 (e1 e2 ) e3 e2 e1 . Thus,

Ans.
(a)Ta = T(2e1 + 3e2 ) 2Te1 + 3Te2 2 e1 + e2 + 3 e1 e2 5e1 e2 .
(b)Tb = T(3e1 + 2e2 ) 3Te1 + 2Te2 =3 e1 + e2 + 2 e1 e2 =5e1 + e2 .
(c)T(a + b) = Ta + Tb = 5e1 e2 5e1 + e2 10e1.
