= Total Stiefel–Whitney class of the projectivization of copies of the tautological line
{c}
{title2=$w(T\mathbb P(k\gamma_{\mathbb R}^{1,n+1}))$}

Under
$$
\mathbb P(k\gamma_{\mathbb R}^{1,n+1})
\cong\mathbb{RP}^n\times\mathbb{RP}^{k-1},
$$
let $x$ and $v$ be the degree-one generators. Then
$$
w(T\mathbb P(k\gamma_{\mathbb R}^{1,n+1}))
=(1+x)^{n+1}(1+v)^k.
