Cross product "matrix", then it can be generalized in an arbitrary number of dimensions. In mechanics, for example, the angular velocity can be interpreted either as a pseudovector formula_167 or as a anti-symmetric matrix or skew-symmetric tensor formula_168. In the latter case, the velocity law for a rigid body looks: where Ω is formally defined from the rotation matrix formula_170 associated to body's frame: formula_171 In three-dimensions holds: In quantum mechanics the angular momentum formula_173 is often represented as an anti-symmetric matrix or tensor. More precisely, it is the result of cross product involving position formula_174 and linear momentum formula_111: Since both
Lean body mass Lean body mass Lean body mass (LBM) is a component of body composition, calculated by subtracting body fat weight from total body weight: total body weight is lean plus fat. In equations: The percentage of total body mass that is lean is usually not quoted – it would typically be 60–90%. Instead, the body fat percentage, which is the complement, is computed, and is typically 10–40%. The lean body mass (LBM) has been described as an index superior to total body weight for prescribing proper levels of medications and for assessing metabolic disorders, as body fat is less relevant for
