`3hat"i" + hat"j" + hat"k"`
Advertisements
उत्तर
The direction ratios of the vector `3hat"i" + hat"j" + hat"k"` are (3, 1, 1)
The direction cosines of the vector `3hat"i" + hat"j" + hat"k"` are
`3/sqrt(3^2 + 1^2 + 1^2), 1/sqrt(3^2 + 1^2 + 1^2), 1/sqrt(3^2 + 1^2 + 1^2)`
`3/sqrt(9 + 1 + ), 1/sqrt(9 + 1 + 1), 1/sqrt(9 + 1 + 1)`
`(3/sqrt(11), 1/sqrt(11), 1/sqrt11)`
Direction ratios = (3, 1, 1)
Direction cosines = `(3/sqrt(11), 1/sqrt(11), 1/sqrt11)`
