` vec a , vec b ,a n d vec c` are three unit vectors and every two are inclined to each other at an angel `cos^(-1)(3//5)dot` If ` vec axx vec b=p vec a+q vec b+r vec c ,w h e r ep ,q ,r` are scalars, then find the value of `qdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`veca xx vecb = pveca =qvecb + rvecc`
taking dot product with `veca, vecb and vecc`, we get
`0 = P + 3/5 q = 3/5 r`
`0 = 3/5 p+q+ 3/5 r`
`[veca vecb vecc] = 3/5p + 3/5 q + r `
`Also, [veca vecb vecc] ^(2)=|{:(veca.veca,veca.vecb,veca.vecc),(vecb.veca,vecb.vecb,vecb.vecc),(vecc.veca,vecc.vecb,vecc.vecc):}|`
`=[{:(1,3//5,3//5),(3//5, 1, 3//5),(3//5,3//5,1):}]= 44/125` solving (i), (ii) and (iii) for q, we get
`5/11 [veca vecb vecc] = - 2/3 q `
` 5/11 xx sqrt(44/125) = - 2/3 q`
` q = - 3 /sqrt55`
