Let `vec(OA) = hat(i)+2hat(j)+2hat(k)`. In the plane of `vec(OA)` and `hat(i)`, rotate `vec(OA)` through `90^(@)` about the origin O such that the new position of `vec(OA)` makes an acute angle with the positive x-axis. The new position of `vec(OA)` isA. `(1)/(sqrt(2))(4hat(i)-hat(j)-hat(k))`B. `(1)/(sqrt(2))(-4hat(i)+hat(j)+hat(k))`C. `sqrt(2)(2hat(i)-2hat(k))`D. `sqrt(2)(6hat(i)-3hat(k))` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Given `vec(OA)=hat(i)+2hat(j)+2hat(k)` Let new position of `vec(OA) " is " vec(r)=ahat(i)+bhat(j)+chat(k)` `because vec(OA),vec(r) " and " hat(i) " are coplaner" =|(1,2,2),(a,b,c),(1,0,0)| = 0 implies b = c` `because vec(r)_|_vec(OA) implies a+2b+2c=0impliesa=-4b{because b=c}` `therefore vec(r)=-4bhat(j)+bhat(j)+bhat(k)=-b(4hat(i)-hat(j)-hat(k))` Also `|vec(r)|=|vec(OA)|impliesb=pm(1)/(sqrt(2))impliesvec(r)=pm(1)/(sqrt(2))(4hat(i)-hat(j)-hat(k))` `because vec(r)` makes acute angle with positive x-axis `implies vec(r)=(1)/(sqrt(2))(4hat(i)-hat(j)-hat(k))` |
