To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the reasoning provided in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information:** We have three unit vectors: \(\hat{m}, \hat{n}, \hat{p}\). The angle between \(\hat{m}\) and \(\hat{n}\) is \(\alpha\). The angle between \(\hat{p}\) and \(\hat{m} \times \hat{n}\) is also \(\alpha\). We are given that the scalar triple product \([\hat{n}, \hat{p}, \hat{m}] = \frac{1}{4}\). 2. **Using the Scalar Triple Product:** ...
