Find the sine of the angle between the vectors `veca=3hati+hatj+2hatkandvecb=2hati-2hatj+4hatk`A. `sqrt((2)/(7))`B. `(2)/(sqrt7)`C. `(sqrt2)/(7)`D. None of these |
Answer» Correct Answer - B Given that, `a=3 hat(i)+hat(j)+2hat(k)` and `b=2 hat(i)-2hat(j)+4hat(k)` Let `theta` be the angle between them. `:. cos theta=(a.b)/(|a||b|)=((3hat(i)+hat(j)+2hat(k)))/sqrt(9+1+4)((2hat(i)-2hat(j)+4hat(k)))/sqrt(4+4+16)` `implies cos theta=(6+(-2)+8)/(sqrt(14)sqrt(24))=12/(4sqrt(21))` `:. sin theta=sqrt(1-cos^(2) theta)` `=sqrt(1-144/336)=sqrt(192/336)` `implies sin theta =2/sqrt(7)` |
