The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the components of the vector \( \vec{A} \) given the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Define the components of the vector Let the components of the vector \( \vec{A} \) be: - \( A_x \) = x-component - \( A_y \) = y-component - \( A_z \) = z-component According to the problem, we know that: \[ A_x = 2A_y \] ### Step 2: Use the magnitude of the vector The magnitude of the vector \( \vec{A} \) is given as \( 5\sqrt{2} \). The magnitude can be expressed in terms of its components: \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2 + A_z^2} \] Substituting the magnitude: \[ 5\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2 + A_z^2} \] ### Step 3: Find the z-component using the angle with the z-axis The angle \( \gamma \) with the z-axis is given as \( 135^\circ \). The z-component can be calculated using: \[ A_z = |\vec{A}| \cos(\gamma) \] Substituting the values: \[ A_z = 5\sqrt{2} \cos(135^\circ) \] Since \( \cos(135^\circ) = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ A_z = 5\sqrt{2} \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = -5 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( A_x \) in terms of \( A_y \) Now we substitute \( A_x = 2A_y \) into the magnitude equation: \[ 5\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{(2A_y)^2 + A_y^2 + (-5)^2} \] This simplifies to: \[ 5\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{4A_y^2 + A_y^2 + 25} \] \[ 5\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{5A_y^2 + 25} \] ### Step 5: Square both sides to eliminate the square root Squaring both sides gives: \[ (5\sqrt{2})^2 = 5A_y^2 + 25 \] \[ 50 = 5A_y^2 + 25 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( A_y \) Rearranging the equation: \[ 5A_y^2 = 50 - 25 \] \[ 5A_y^2 = 25 \] \[ A_y^2 = 5 \] Taking the square root: \[ A_y = \sqrt{5} \] ### Step 7: Find \( A_x \) Now substitute \( A_y \) back to find \( A_x \): \[ A_x = 2A_y = 2\sqrt{5} \] ### Step 8: Summarize the components We have found: - \( A_x = 2\sqrt{5} \) - \( A_y = \sqrt{5} \) - \( A_z = -5 \) Thus, the components of the vector \( \vec{A} \) are: \[ \vec{A} = (2\sqrt{5}, \sqrt{5}, -5) \]

To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the components of the vector \( \vec{A} \) given the conditions provided. ### Step 1: Define the components of the vector Let the components of the vector \( \vec{A} \) be: - \( A_x \) = x-component - \( A_y \) = y-component - \( A_z \) = z-component ...
