Respected sir,

How to know when to use scalar product i.e. dot between two vectors and vector product i.e cross between two vectors while solving the application based questions ? While finding the perpendicular of a parallelogram given the area we use vector product for vectors for finding area, but why and how will we know when to use what?

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same radius and mass m is placed over the void created by the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls kept on the floor to each other if the system remains in equilibrium.

A car loaded with water having total mass 1000 kg moves on a straight horizontal Road starting from rest under the action of a force of 100 Newton. The water spills throw a small hole in the bottom at a rate of 0.1 KG per second the velocity of cart after 300 seconds is nearly.
