Write the direction ratios of the vector ` -> a= hat i+ hat j-2 hat k`and hence calculate its direction cosines. |
|
Answer» Here, `vec(a) = hati+hatj-2hatk` So, direction ratios will be `(1,1,-2)`. Let its direction cosines are (k,k,-2k). Then,`k^2+k^2+(-2k)^2 = 1` `6k^2 = 1` `k=+-1/sqrt6` We will take `k=1/sqrt6` for direction cosines in the same direction of vector. So, direction cosines will be `(1/sqrt6,1/sqrt6,-2/sqrt6)` |
