To solve the problem, we need to find the acute angle \( \theta \) that the unit vector \( \vec{r} \) makes with the \( \hat{i} \) axis, given that it makes angles \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) (or \( 60^\circ \)) with the \( \hat{j} \) axis and \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) (or \( 90^\circ \)) with the \( \hat{k} \) axis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Unit Vector:** A unit vector \( \vec{r} \) can be expressed in terms of its direction cosines: \[ \vec{r} = l \hat{i} + m \hat{j} + n \hat{k} ...
