if `overset(to)(b) " and " overset(to)(c )` are any two non- collinear unit vectors and `overset(to)(a)` is any vector then `(overset(to)(a).overset(to)(b))overset(to)(b).(overset(to)(a).overset(to)(c )) overset(to)(c ) + .(overset(to)(a).(overset(to)(b)xxoverset(to)(c)))/(|overset(to)(b)xxoverset(to)(c)|^(2)).(overset(to)(b)xxoverset(to)(c))=.........` |

Answer» Correct Answer - `overset(to)(a)` Let `hat(i) ` be a unit vector in the direction of `vec(b) , hat(j)` in the direction of `vec(c )` . Note that `vec( c) = hat(j)` and `(vec(b) xx vec(c )) = |vec(b)||vec(c )| " sin " alpha hat(k) = " sin " alpha hat(k)` where `hat(k) ` is a vector perpendicular to `vec(b) " and " vec(c )` `rArr |vec(b) xx vec(c )| " = sin " alpha rArr hat(k) = (vec(b) xx vec( c))/(|vec(b) xx vec(c )|)` Let `vec( a) = a_(1) hat(i) + a_(2) hat(j) + a_(3) hat(k)` Now `vec(a) ". " vec(b) = vec(a) ". " hat(i) = hat(i) "." (a_(1) hat(i) + a_(2) hat(j) + a_(3) hat(k)) = a_(1)` and `vec(a) ". " vec(c ) = vec(a) " ." hat(j) = hat(j) ". " (a_(1) hat(i) + a_(2) hat(j) + a_(3) hat(k)) = a_(2)` and `vec(a) ". " (vec(b) xx vec( c))/( |vec(b) xx vec( c)|) = vec(a) ". "vec(k) = a_(3) ` `:. (vec(a) ". " vec(b)) vec(b) + (vec(a) ". " vec(c )) vec( c) + (vec(a) (vec(b)xx vec(c )))/(|vec(b) xx vec(c )|^(2)) (vec(b) xx vec(c ))` `=a_(1) vec(b) + a_(2) vec(c ) + a_(3) .((vec(b) xx vec(c )))/(|vec(b) xx vec(c )|) = a_(1) hat(i) + a_(2) hat(j) + a_(3) hat(k) = hat(a)` |
