To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \(\vec{r}\) that is inclined at equal acute angles to the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, given that \(|\vec{r}| = 6\) units. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles**: Since the vector \(\vec{r}\) is inclined at equal angles to the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, we can denote these angles as \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), and \(\gamma\). Given that they are equal, we can write: \[ \alpha = \beta = \gamma ...
