The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the volume of the parallelepiped formed by the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). The volume \(V\) of a parallelepiped defined by three vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) can be calculated using the scalar triple product: \[ V = |\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})| \] Given: - \(|\vec{a}| = 2\) - \(|\vec{b}| = 3\) - \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\) (which means \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular) We also have the expression for \(\vec{a} \times \vec{a} \times \vec{a} \times \vec{a} \times \vec{b}\). Since the cross product of any vector with itself is zero, we can simplify the expression. ### Step 1: Simplify the expression \[ \vec{a} \times \vec{a} = \vec{0} \] Thus, \[ \vec{a} \times \vec{a} \times \vec{a} \times \vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{0} \times \vec{b} = \vec{0} \] ### Step 2: Find the vector \(\vec{c}\) We are given that the diagonal vector \(\vec{c} = 4\hat{k} + 8\hat{k} = 12\hat{k}\). ### Step 3: Calculate the volume The volume of the parallelepiped can be calculated using the formula: \[ V = |\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})| \] ### Step 4: Find \(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}\) Since \(\vec{b}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{a}\), we can assume: \[ \vec{b} = 3\hat{j} \] And \(\vec{c} = 12\hat{k}\). Now, we calculate: \[ \vec{b} \times \vec{c} = (3\hat{j}) \times (12\hat{k}) = 36\hat{i} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \(\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\) Assuming \(\vec{a} = 2\hat{i}\): \[ \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = (2\hat{i}) \cdot (36\hat{i}) = 72 \] ### Step 6: Find the volume Thus, the volume \(V\) is: \[ V = |72| = 72 \] ### Final Answer The volume of the parallelepiped is \(72\) cubic units. ---
