Obtain the magnitude and direction cosines of vector `(A-B),` if `A=2hati+3hatj+hatk, B=2hati+2hatj+3hatk`
A. `0,(1)/(sqrt(5)),(-2)/(sqrt(5))`
B. `0,(2)/(sqrt(5)),(1)/(sqrt(5))`
C. `0,0,(1)/(sqrt(5))`
D. None of these
A. `0,(1)/(sqrt(5)),(-2)/(sqrt(5))`
B. `0,(2)/(sqrt(5)),(1)/(sqrt(5))`
C. `0,0,(1)/(sqrt(5))`
D. None of these
Correct Answer – A
(a) WE have `A-B =hatj-2hatk=C`
`C=sqrt(1+4)=sqrt(5)`
`cos alpha=(o)/(sqrt(5))=0,cosbeta=(1)/(sqrt(5))and cos gamma =(-2)/(sqrt(5))`
