Question 1 of 2 · 5.0 marks
The rank-2 tensor , where are the Cartesian coordinates of the position vector in three dimensions, has 6 independent elements. Under rotation, these 6 elements decompose into irreducible sets (that is, the elements of each set transform only into linear combinations of elements in that set) containing
- 14 and 2 elements
- 25 and 1 elements
- 33, 2 and 1 elements
- 44, 1 and 1 elements
Correct answer: Option 2
