A vector vec r is inclined at equal to ...

A vector ` vec r` is inclined at equal to `O X ,O Ya n dO Zdot` If the magnitude of ` vec r` is 6 units, find ` vec rdot`

A

`sqrt(3)(+-hati+-hatj+-hatk)`

B

`2sqrt(3)(+-hati+-hatj+-hatk)`

C

`6(+-hati+-hatj+-hatk)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Let `l,m,n` be the direction cosines of `vecr` which is equally inclied to the coordinate axes. The,
`:. L=m=n+-1/(sqrt(3))`
Hence `vecr=|vecr+(lhati+mhatj+nhatk)`
`impliesvecr=6{+-1/(sqrt(3))hati+-1/(sqrt(3))hatj+-1/(sqrt(3))hatk}=2sqrt(3)(+-hati+-hatj+-hatk)`
