Find a vector of magnitude
making an angle of π/4 with x-axis π/2 with y-axis and an acute angle θ with z-axis.
Let the angles made by vector be α, β, θ and the magnitude be m.
Given that . We have to figure out the vector.
Since cos2α+cos2β+cos2θ=1, we get
Since θ is acute, .
Any vector, if it’s magnitude and direction cosines are given can be written as
So, the required vector is
