Vector Triple Product with Parallel Vectors

Rarely Tested

Vector Triple Product with Parallel Vectors

If:

$$\vec b\parallel\vec c$$

then:

$$\vec b\times\vec c=\vec 0$$

and therefore:

$$\vec a\times(\vec b\times\vec c)=\vec 0$$

Usage

- Used to simplify nested cross products when two inner vectors are parallel.
