Find a vector vec a of magnitude 5sqrt(...

Find a vector ` vec a` of magnitude `5sqrt(2)` making an angle of `pi/4` with `x`-axis, `pi/2` with `y`-axis and an acute angle `theta` with `z`-axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,

`|a|=sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2)=5sqrt(2)`

`x^2+y^2+z^2=50`


Angle made by `x` axis is `pi/4`

`cos(pi/4)=(x)/(|a|)`

`(1)/(sqrt(2))=(x)/(5sqrt(2))`

`x=5`

Angle made by `y` axis is `pi/2`
