The correct Answer is:
To find the angle that vector \(\vec{a}\) makes with the plane containing vectors \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the vectors and their angles Given: - The angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{4}\). - The angle between \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). - The angle between \(\vec{c}\) and \(\vec{a}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). ### Step 2: Use the dot product to express relationships Using the cosine of the angles, we can write: 1. \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}|\) 2. \(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c} = |\vec{b}| |\vec{c}| \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{b}| |\vec{c}|\) 3. \(\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} = |\vec{c}| |\vec{a}| \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{c}| |\vec{a}|\) ### Step 3: Find the sine of the angle between \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) The sine of the angle between \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is given by: \[ |\vec{b} \times \vec{c}| = |\vec{b}| |\vec{c}| \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = |\vec{b}| |\vec{c}| \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 4: Use the normal vector to find the angle \(\theta\) The normal vector to the plane formed by \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is \(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}\). The angle \(\theta\) that \(\vec{a}\) makes with this plane can be determined using the formula: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{|\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})|}{|\vec{a}| |\vec{b} \times \vec{c}|} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the scalar triple product The scalar triple product \(\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\) can be expressed as: \[ |\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})| = \text{det}(\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}) \] This can be calculated using the relationships established earlier. ### Step 6: Substitute and simplify Substituting the values: \[ \sin \theta = \frac{|\vec{a}| \cdot |\vec{b}| \cdot |\vec{c}| \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{|\vec{a}| \cdot |\vec{b}| \cdot |\vec{c}|} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 7: Find the angle Thus, we can find \(\theta\): \[ \theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Final Answer The angle which \(\vec{a}\) makes with the plane containing \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). ---
