Question : 3
Total: 29
Find the magnitude of each of two vectors
and
, having the same magnitude such that the angle between them is 60 and their scalar product is
Solution:
Given that the magnitude of each of the two vectors
and
have same magnitude.
⇒|
| = |
| ... (i)
the angle between
and
is 60°
⇒ θ = 60°
and
.
=
... (iii)
Since,
.
= |
| |
| cos θ
⇒|
| |
| cos 60° =
From (i),(ii) and (iii)
⇒|
| 2 ×
=
⇒|
| 2 = 9
⇒|
| = 3
⇒|
| = |
| = 3 ... From (i)
⇒
the angle between
⇒ θ = 60°
and
Since,
⇒
