Find the direction cosines of a vector whose direction ratios are

`1/sqrt(2), 1/2, 1/2`

योग

उत्तर

The given direction ratios are a = 3, b = – 1 , c = 3

If a, b, c are the direction ratios of a vector ten the direction cosines of the vector are

l = `"b"/sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 + "c"^2)`

m = `"b"/sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 + "c")`

c = `"c"/sqrt("a"^2 + "b"^2 + "c")`

∴ The required direction cosioes of the water are

`3/sqrt(3^2 + (-1)^2 + 3^2)`

`(-1)/sqrt(3^2 + (-1)^2 + 3^2)`

`3/sqrt(3^2 + (-1)^2 + 3^2)`

`3/sqrt(9 + 1 + 9)`

`(- 1)/sqrt(9 + 1 + 9)`

`3/sqrt(9 + 1 + 9)`

`(3/sqrt(19), (-1)/sqrt(9 + 1+ 9))`

`3/sqrt(9 + 1 + 9)`

`1/sqrt(19), (-1)/sqrt(19)`

= `3sqrt(9 + 1 + 9)`

`(3/sqrt(19), (-1) /sqrt(19), 3/sqrt(19))`
