The plane $2x-3y+6z-11=0$ makes an angle $sin^{-1}\alpha $ with x-axis. The value of $\alpha $ is equal to : |
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ $\frac{2}{7}$ $\frac{3}{7}$ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ |
$\frac{2}{7}$ |
The correct answer is option (2) → $\frac{2}{7}$ $\vec n=2\hat i-3\hat j+6\hat k$ plane makes $\sin^{-1}α$ with x axis ⇒ Normal makes $(90°-\sin^{-1}α)$ with x axis. Let x axis be $\hat b=\hat i$ so $\vec n.\hat b=|\vec n||\hat b|\cos(90°-\sin^{-1}α)$ so $2=7\sin(\sin^{-1}α)⇒α=\frac{2}{7}$ |
