The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). ### Given: 1. \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = 3(\vec{a} \times \vec{c})\) 2. \(|\vec{a}| = |\vec{b}| = 1\) 3. \(|\vec{c}| = \frac{1}{3}\) 4. The angle between \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) is \(60^\circ\). ### Step 1: Write the Magnitude of the Cross Products Using the formula for the magnitude of the cross product, we have: \[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \sin(\alpha) \] \[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{c}| = |\vec{a}| |\vec{c}| \sin(\beta) \] Where \(\alpha\) is the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\), and \(\beta\) is the angle between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{c}\). ### Step 2: Substitute the Magnitudes Since \(|\vec{a}| = 1\) and \(|\vec{b}| = 1\), we can simplify: \[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{b}| = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot \sin(\alpha) = \sin(\alpha) \] For \(\vec{c}\), we have \(|\vec{c}| = \frac{1}{3}\): \[ |\vec{a} \times \vec{c}| = 1 \cdot \frac{1}{3} \cdot \sin(\beta) = \frac{1}{3} \sin(\beta) \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation From the given condition: \[ \sin(\alpha) = 3 \left(\frac{1}{3} \sin(\beta)\right) = \sin(\beta) \] Thus, we have: \[ \sin(\alpha) = \sin(\beta) \] ### Step 4: Conclude the Angles Since \(\sin(\alpha) = \sin(\beta)\) and both angles are between \(0^\circ\) and \(90^\circ\), we can conclude: \[ \alpha = \beta \] ### Step 5: Use the Cosine Rule Now, we apply the cosine rule for the angles: \[ \cos^2(\alpha) + \cos^2(\beta) + \cos^2(60^\circ) = 1 \] Substituting \(\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}\): \[ \cos^2(\alpha) + \cos^2(\alpha) + \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = 1 \] \[ 2\cos^2(\alpha) + \frac{1}{4} = 1 \] \[ 2\cos^2(\alpha) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] \[ \cos^2(\alpha) = \frac{3}{8} \] Thus, \[ \cos(\alpha) = \sqrt{\frac{3}{8}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 6: Relate the Vectors From the condition \(\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = 3(\vec{a} \times \vec{c})\), we can express this as: \[ \vec{a} \times \vec{b} - 3(\vec{a} \times \vec{c}) = 0 \] This implies that the vectors \(\vec{b}\) and \(3\vec{c}\) are parallel, leading to: \[ \vec{b} = \vec{a} + 3\vec{c} \] ### Final Result Thus, the correct relation is: \[ \vec{b} = \vec{a} + 3\vec{c} \]
