When an electrical device has a short circuit, a fault in the circuit allows current to flow with almost no resistance. The dangerously large current in a short circuit creates significant shock and fire hazards. Suppose a short circuit occurs when the terminals of a 6.0 V battery are connected by 8.8 cm of AWG 12 gauge wire with a resistance of 5.2 Ω per 1000 m of length. 12 gauge wire can safely carry a maximum current I max = 25 A. To two significant figures, what is the short circuit current I short in terms of I max ?

The scalar triple product computes the magnitude m of the moment of a force vector f about a specified line. it is m = (r × f) · n, where r is the position vector from the line to the point of application of the force and n is a unit vector in the direction of the line. use matlab to compute the magnitude m for the case where f = [12, −5, 4] n, r = [−3, 5, 2] m, and n = [6, 5, −7].
