To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(|\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} + \vec{d}|^2\), where \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) are mutually perpendicular unit vectors, and \(\vec{d}\) is a unit vector that makes equal angles with \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the vectors:** Let \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) be unit vectors along the x, y, and z axes respectively: \[ \vec{a} = \hat{i}, \quad \vec{b} = \hat{j}, \quad \vec{c} = \hat{k} ...
