For three vectors \(\rm \vec A\), \(\rm \vec B\) and \(\rm \vec C\):
- Triple Cross Product: is defined as: \(\rm \vec A\times\left(\vec B\times\vec C\right)=\left(\vec A.\vec C\right)\vec B-\left(\vec A.\vec B\right)\vec C\)
Calculation:
Given that: \(\rm \left(\vec a\times\vec b\right)\times\vec c=\vec a\times\left(\vec b\times\vec c\right)\)
⇒ \(\rm -\vec c \times\left(\vec a\times\vec b\right)=\vec a\times\left(\vec b\times\vec c\right)\)
⇒ \(\rm -\left(\vec c.\vec b\right)\vec a+\left(\vec c.\vec a\right)\vec b=\left(\vec a.\vec c\right)\vec b-\left(\vec a.\vec b\right)\vec c\)
⇒ \(\rm \left(\vec a.\vec b\right)\vec c-\left(\vec c.\vec b\right)\vec a=0\)
⇒ \(\rm \vec b\times\left(\vec c\times\vec a\right)=0\), which is the required answer.
