Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of the difference between two unit vectors \( \mathbf{N_1} \) and \( \mathbf{N_2} \) given that their sum is also a unit vector. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Define the unit vectors Let \( \mathbf{N_1} \) and \( \mathbf{N_2} \) be two unit vectors. Since they are unit vectors, we have: \[ |\mathbf{N_1}| = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad |\mathbf{N_2}| = 1 \] ...
