If a unit vector veca makes angles (pi)/...

If a unit vector `veca` makes angles `(pi)/(3)` with `hati,(pi)/(4)` with `hatj` and an acute angle `theta` with `hatk` then find `theta` and hence , the components of `veca`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(1)/(sqrt(2))hati,(1)/(2)j,(1)/(2)hatk`
