If a unit vector vec a makes angle pi//...

If a unit vector ` vec a` makes angle `pi//4` with ` hat i ,pi//3` with ` hat j` and an acute angle `theta` with ` hat k` , then find the components of ` vec a` and the angle `thetadot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

unit vector `vec a have (a_{1}, a_{2}, vec a_{1})` components.

` vec a=a_{1} hat{i}+a_{-} hat{j}+a_{hat{k}}`

Also, it is given that `vec a` makes angles `frac{pi}{3}` with `hat{i}, frac{pi}{4}` with `hat{j},` and an acute angle theta with `hat{k}`

`cos frac{pi}{3}=frac{2}{|vec a|} `

` =frac{1}{2}=2,[|x|=1]`

`cos frac{pi}{4}=frac{2}{|vec a|} `
