The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given conditions and derive the required vector \(\vec{a} = (x, y, z)\). ### Step 1: Analyze the conditions We know: 1. \(\vec{a}\) makes an obtuse angle with the F-axis, which implies that the \(z\) component must be negative (since the F-axis is aligned with the positive \(z\)-axis). 2. \(\vec{a}\) makes equal angles with \(\vec{b} = (y, -2z, 3x)\) and \(\vec{c} = (2z, 3x, -y)\). 3. \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{d} = (1, -1, 2)\). 4. The magnitude of \(\vec{a}\) is given as \(|\vec{a}| = 2\sqrt{3}\). ### Step 2: Set up the equations From the condition that \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{d}\): \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{d} = 0 \] This gives us: \[ x - y + 2z = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Equal angles condition Since \(\vec{a}\) makes equal angles with \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\), we can use the dot product: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} \] Calculating \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\): \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = x \cdot y + y \cdot (-2z) + z \cdot (3x) = xy - 2yz + 3xz \] Calculating \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}\): \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{c} = x \cdot (2z) + y \cdot (3x) + z \cdot (-y) = 2xz + 3xy - yz \] Setting these equal: \[ xy - 2yz + 3xz = 2xz + 3xy - yz \] Rearranging gives: \[ -2yz + 3xz - 2xz - 3xy + yz = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ xz - 2xy - yz = 0 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 4: Magnitude condition The magnitude condition gives us: \[ x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 12 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \] ### Step 5: Solve the equations From Equation 1: \[ x = y - 2z \] Substituting \(x\) into Equation 2: \[ (y - 2z)z - 2(y - 2z)y - yz = 0 \] Expanding and simplifying: \[ yz - 2z^2 - 2y^2 + 4zy - yz = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -2z^2 + 4zy - 2y^2 = 0 \] Factoring out: \[ -2(z^2 - 2zy + y^2) = 0 \] This gives: \[ z^2 - 2zy + y^2 = 0 \implies (z - y)^2 = 0 \implies z = y \] Substituting \(z = y\) into Equation 1: \[ x = y - 2y = -y \] Substituting \(x = -y\) and \(z = y\) into Equation 3: \[ (-y)^2 + y^2 + y^2 = 12 \implies 3y^2 = 12 \implies y^2 = 4 \implies y = 2 \text{ or } y = -2 \] Since \(z\) is negative, we take \(y = -2\) and thus \(z = -2\) and \(x = 2\). ### Final Vector The vector \(\vec{a}\) is: \[ \vec{a} = (2, -2, -2) \]
