Marks: +1, -0
Find the magnitude of each of two vectors a→\overset{\rightarrow}{a} and b→\overset{\rightarrow}{b}, having the same magnitude such that the angle between them is 60 and their scalar product is 92\frac{9}{2}
Solution:  
Given that the magnitude of each of the two vectors a→\overset{\rightarrow}{a} and b→\overset{\rightarrow}{b} have same magnitude.
⇒ ∣a→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right| = ∣b→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{b}\right| ... (i)
the angle between a→\overset{\rightarrow}{a} and b→\overset{\rightarrow}{b} is 60°
⇒ θ = 60°
and a→\overset{\rightarrow}{a} . b→\overset{\rightarrow}{b} = 32\frac{3}{2} ... (iii)
Since,
a→\overset{\rightarrow}{a} . b→\overset{\rightarrow}{b} = ∣a→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right| ∣b→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{b}\right| cos θ
⇒ ∣a→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right| ∣a→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right| cos 60° = 92\frac{9}{2} From (i),(ii) and (iii)
⇒ ∣a→∣2\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right|^2 × 12\frac{1}{2} = 92\frac{9}{2}
⇒ ∣a→∣2\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right|^2 = 9
⇒ ∣a→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right| = 3
⇒ ∣a→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{a}\right| = ∣b→∣\left|\overset{\rightarrow}{b}\right| = 3 ... From (i)
