If a unit vector makes angles
and an acute angle θ with
then find θ and hence, the components of
.
Let
Given that it is a unit vector,
So, ……(1)
Let be the angle
with
respectively.
Then,
(given)
(given)
Putting value of x,y, z in equation (1)
(Squaring both sides)
As should be acute,
Components of are the coefficients of
, which are,
