Show that the vector `i+j+k`is equally inclined with the axes `O X , O Y a n d O Zdot` |
|
Answer» Let `a=hati+hatj+hatk` If a makes angles `alpha,beta,gamma` with X,Y and Z-axes respectively, then `cosalpha=(1)/(sqrt(1^(2)+1^(2)+1^(2)))=(1)/(sqrt(3))` `cos beta=(1)/(sqrt(3))` and `cos gamma=(1)/(sqrt(3))` Thus, we have `cos alpha=cosbeta=cosgamma,` i.e., `alpha=beta=gamma` Hence, a is equally inclined to the axes. |
