Find a vector vec r of magnitude 3sqrt...

Find a vector ` vec r` of magnitude `3sqrt(3)u n i t s` which makes an angle of `pi/4` and `pi/2` with `y` and `z-`axis respectively.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`vec{r}=x hat{1}+y hat{j}+2 hat{k} `
`|vec{r}|=3 sqrt{2} `
`sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}=3 sqrt{2} `
`x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=18`
It makes `frac{pi}{4}` with yours
So, `vec{r} cdot j=|vec{r}| cos frac{pi}{4}`
`y=frac{3 sqrt{2}}{sqrt{2}}=3`
