Let `veca, vecb and vecc` be non - coplanar unit vectors, equally inclined to one another at an angle `theta`. If `veca xx vecb + vecb xx vecc = p veca + q vecb + rvecc`, find scalars p, q and r in terms of `theta`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`p=r=1/sqrt(1+2 costheta), q=(-2 cos theta)/sqrt(1+2 cos theta)`
