The correct Answer is:
To find the vector \(\vec{B}\) which is normal to the vector \(\vec{A}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the given vector \(\vec{A}\) The vector \(\vec{A}\) is given as: \[ \vec{A} = \hat{i} A \cos \theta + \hat{j} A \sin \theta \] ### Step 2: Understand the condition for normal vectors Two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) are normal (orthogonal) to each other if their dot product is zero: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Express the vector \(\vec{B}\) Let’s assume the vector \(\vec{B}\) can be expressed in the form: \[ \vec{B} = \hat{i} B_x + \hat{j} B_y \] where \(B_x\) and \(B_y\) are the components of vector \(\vec{B}\). ### Step 4: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\) Now, we compute the dot product: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (A \cos \theta)(B_x) + (A \sin \theta)(B_y) \] Setting this equal to zero for orthogonality: \[ A \cos \theta \cdot B_x + A \sin \theta \cdot B_y = 0 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equation Dividing the entire equation by \(A\) (assuming \(A \neq 0\)): \[ \cos \theta \cdot B_x + \sin \theta \cdot B_y = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(B_y\) in terms of \(B_x\) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ \sin \theta \cdot B_y = -\cos \theta \cdot B_x \] Thus, we can express \(B_y\) as: \[ B_y = -\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} B_x = -B_x \cot \theta \] ### Step 7: Choose a specific form for \(\vec{B}\) To find a specific vector \(\vec{B}\), we can choose \(B_x = B\) (a constant) and substitute: \[ B_y = -B \cot \theta \] Thus, we can express \(\vec{B}\) as: \[ \vec{B} = \hat{i} B + \hat{j} \left(-B \cot \theta\right) \] ### Conclusion The vector \(\vec{B}\) which is normal to \(\vec{A}\) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{B} = \hat{i} B - \hat{j} B \cot \theta \] where \(B\) is any non-zero scalar.

To find the vector \(\vec{B}\) which is normal to the vector \(\vec{A}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the given vector \(\vec{A}\) The vector \(\vec{A}\) is given as: \[ \vec{A} = \hat{i} A \cos \theta + \hat{j} A \sin \theta \] ...
