In 3D VECTOR algebra, we have to divide a mass by a length VECTOR, and linear mass density is a VECTOR.

You were misled by mathematician. Mathematicians play vectors without unit(meter for example); that's not for physicists. Area = Length * Height Height = Area / Length I learned the above equations when I was a pupil in elementary school. Dividing an area by a length, we always get the height of a rectangle(although infinite number of parallelograms have the same area and length). Physicists have been doing vector-by-vector-division for a hundred years. The equation of magnetic force is "vector division by vector". F=iLXB (X is corss product). L is a length vector; assuming L=l m<i:3>, <i:3> is a unit vector. B is magnetic flux density. Its unit is tesla, or Wb/m^2. Wb, Weber, is the unit of magnetic flux. Assuming B= b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>, <j:3> is a unit vector. Since B is a vector of surface density, we can rewrite it: B= b Wb/(m^2<j:3>), <j:3> is moved to denominator. LXB= l m<i:3> X b (Wb/m^2)<j:3> = l m<i:3> * b Wb /(m^2<j:3>) = lb Wb m<i:3>/(m^2<j:3>) It's VDV.

You have no idea what you are talking about. [snip idiocy]

Wrong. Given a linear mass density lying along -a < x < a, what direction does it point? |
