The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given conditions and determine the value of the scalar triple product \([ \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} ]\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Conditions**: We are given that: \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = 0, \quad \vec{r} \cdot \vec{b} = 0, \quad \vec{r} \cdot \vec{c} = 0 \] This means that the vector \(\vec{r}\) is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). 2. **Implications of Orthogonality**: Since \(\vec{r}\) is orthogonal to \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\), it implies that all three vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) lie in the same plane that is perpendicular to \(\vec{r}\). Therefore, \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) are coplanar. 3. **Scalar Triple Product**: The scalar triple product \([ \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} ]\) is defined as: \[ [ \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} ] = \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) \] If the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\) are coplanar, then the cross product \(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}\) will yield a vector that is perpendicular to the plane formed by \(\vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\). Since \(\vec{a}\) lies in the same plane, the dot product \(\vec{a} \cdot (\vec{b} \times \vec{c})\) will be zero. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of the scalar triple product \([ \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} ]\) is: \[ [ \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} ] = 0 \] ### Final Answer: \[ [ \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c} ] = 0 \]
