उत्तर

Let `veca = hati + hatj + hatk`

Then,

`|veca| =sqrt(1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2) = sqrt3`

Therefore, the direction cosines of `veca` are `(1/sqrt3, 1/sqrt3, 1/sqrt3)`.

Now, let α, β, and λ be the angles formed by `veca` with the positive directions of the x, y, and z axes.

Then, we have `cosalpha = 1/sqrt3, cosbeta = 1/sqrt3, coslambda = 1/sqrt3`.

Hence, the given vector is equally inclined to axes OX, OY, and OZ.
