Find the direction cosines of the vector (5\(\hat{i}\) + \(\hat{j}\)+ 2\(\hat{k}\))
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Let vectors \(\vec{a}\)= (5\(\hat{i}\) + \(\hat{j}\)+ 2\(\hat{k}\))
magnitude of (\(\vec{a}\)) =√(5)2 +(1)2 +(2)2 = √30
Hence the direction cosines are =(5/ √30, 1/√30, 2/√30)
