A vector vec r is inclined at equal ang...

A vector ` vec r` is inclined at equal angle to the three axes. If the magnitude of ` vec r` is `2 sqrt3,\ ` find ` vec rdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have, `vec(r) =2 sqrt{3}`
Since `vec{r}` is equally inclined to the three axes, direction cosines of the unit vector `vec{r}` will be the same.
`i.e., l=m=n.`
Now we know that.
` l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1 `
`Rightarrow l^{2}+l^{2}+l^{2}=1`
`Rightarrow quad l^{2}=frac{1}{3} `
