(a) What is meant by an antisymmetric tensor of second rank? Show that if a second rank tensor is antisymmetric in one Cartesian coordinate system, it is antisymmetric in every Cartesian coordinate system.
(b) Consider the vector field and the second rank tensor defined by . Calculate the components of the antisymmetric part of and verify that it equals , where is the alternating tensor and .
