Let Find a vector
which is perpendicular to both
and
Here
Let
Since is perpendicular to
and 3d2 – d3 = 0 ...(2)
Also, ...(3)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and (2) by 1, we get,
3d1 – 3d2 = 0
3d2 – d3 = 0
Adding, 3d1 – d3 = 0 ...(4)
Subtracting (4) from (3), we get,
From (1),
From (2),
Let be three vectors of magnitude 5, 3, 1 respectively. If each one is perpendicular to the sum of other two vectors, prove that
If are mutually perpendicular vectors of equal magnitude, show that they are equally inclined to the vector
