To solve the problem, we need to find the acute angle \( \theta \) that the unit vector \( \vec{a} \) makes with the \( \hat{k} \) axis, and then determine the components of \( \vec{a} \). ### Step 1: Understanding the Angles Given: - The angle \( \alpha \) with \( \hat{i} \) (x-axis) is \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) (or 60 degrees). - The angle \( \beta \) with \( \hat{j} \) (y-axis) is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) (or 45 degrees). - The angle \( \theta \) with \( \hat{k} \) (z-axis) is unknown. ...
