In my class I have learned that the cross-product of two vectors are perpendicular to those two vectors. Teacher says it has something to do with torque. If it is, then 'if we have to open a door it should be easy to open it by exerting force on top of the hinge', but we know it is not. Is there any scientific reasoning to this question, or is it a standard way of multiplying vectors?
