The vector vec r is inclined at equal a...

The vector ` vec r` is inclined at equal acute angles of x-axis,y axis, and z-axis. If `| vec r|=6\ ` units, find ` vec rdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Неге, `alpha=beta=gamma`
`Rightarrow cos alpha=cos beta=cos gamma `
`Rightarrow l=m=n=p(text { say })`
Now, we know that -
`l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1 `
`Rightarrow p^{2}+p^{2}+p^{2}=1 `
`Rightarrow 3 p^{2}=1 `
`Rightarrow p=pm frac{1}{sqrt{3}}`
