Vector Algebra C lass 12 Chapter 10 Exercise 10.4

Question:1 Find |\vec a \times \vec b |, if \vec a = \hat i - 7 \hat j + 7 \hat k \: \: and \: \: \vec b = 3 \hat i - 2 \hat j + 2 \hat k

Answer:

Given in the question,

\\ \vec a = \hat i - 7 \hat j + 7 \hat k \: \: and \: \: \\\vec b = 3 \hat i - 2 \hat j + 2 \hat k

and we need to find |\vec a \times \vec b |

Now,

|\vec a \times \vec b | =\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ 1 &-7 &7 \\ 3& -2 &2 \end{vmatrix}

|\vec a \times \vec b | =\hat i(-14+14)-\hat j(2-21)+\hat k(-2+21)

|\vec a \times \vec b | =19\hat j+19\hat k

So the value of |\vec a \times \vec b | is 19\hat j+19\hat k

Question:2 Find a unit vector perpendicular to each of the vector \vec a + \vec b \: \: and\: \: \vec a - \vec b , where \vec a = 3 \hat i + 2 \hat j + 2 \hat k \: \:and \: \: \vec b = \hat i + 2 \hat j - 2 \hat k

Answer:

Given in the question

\vec a = 3 \hat i + 2 \hat j + 2 \hat k \: \:and \: \: \vec b = \hat i + 2 \hat j - 2 \hat k

\vec a + \vec b =3\hat i +2\hat j+2\hat k+\hat i +2\hat j-2\hat k=4\hat i +4\hat j

\vec a - \vec b =3\hat i +2\hat j+2\hat k-\hat i -2\hat j+2\hat k=2\hat i +4\hat k

Now , A vector which perpendicular to both \vec a + \vec b \: \: and\: \: \vec a - \vec b is (\vec a + \vec b) \times (\vec a - \vec b)

(\vec a + \vec b) \times (\vec a - \vec b)=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ 4&4 &0 \\ 2& 0& 4 \end{vmatrix}

(\vec a + \vec b) \times (\vec a - \vec b)= \hat i (16-0)-\hat j(16-0)+\hat k(0-8)

(\vec a + \vec b) \times (\vec a - \vec b)= 16\hat i -16\hat j-8\hat k

And a unit vector in this direction :

\vec u =\frac{16\hat i-16\hat j-8\hat k}{|16\hat i-16\hat j-8\hat k|}=\frac{16\hat i-16\hat j-8\hat k}{\sqrt{16^2+(-16)^2+(-8)^2}}

\vec u =\frac{16\hat i-16\hat j-8\hat k}{24}=\frac{2}{3}\hat i-\frac{2}{3}\hat j-\frac{1}{3}\hat k

Hence Unit vector perpendicular to each of the vector \vec a + \vec b \: \: and\: \: \vec a - \vec b is \frac{2}{3}\hat i-\frac{2}{3}\hat j-\frac{1}{3}\hat k .

Question:3 If a unit vector \vec a makes angles \frac{\pi }{3} with \hat i , \frac{\pi }{4} with \hat j and an acute angle \theta \: \: with \hat k then find \theta \: \: and hence, the components of \vec a .

Answer:

Given in the question,

angle between \vec a and \hat i :

\alpha =\frac{\pi}{3}

angle between \vec a and \hat j

\beta =\frac{\pi}{4}

angle with \vec a and \hat k :

\gamma =\theta

Now, As we know,

cos^2\alpha+cos^2\beta+cos^2\gamma=1

cos^2\frac{\pi}{3}+cos^2\frac{\pi }{4}+cos^2\theta=1

\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right )^2+cos^2\theta=1

cos^2\theta=\frac{1}{4}

cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}

\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}

Now components of \vec a are:

\left ( cos\frac{\pi}{3},cos\frac{\pi}{2},cos\frac{\pi}{3} \right )=\left ( \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{2} \right )

Question:4 Show that ( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b ) = 2 ( \vec a \times \vec b )

Answer:

To show that ( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b ) = 2 ( \vec a \times \vec b )

LHS=

\\( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b )=( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a)+( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec b)

( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b )= \vec a \times \vec a-\vec b \times\vec a+\vec a \times \vec b-\vec b \times \vec b

As product of a vector with itself is always Zero,

( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b )= 0-\vec b \times\vec a+\vec a \times \vec b-\0

As cross product of a and b is equal to negative of cross product of b and a.

( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b )= \vec a \times\vec b+\vec a \times \vec b

( \vec a - \vec b ) \times (\vec a + \vec b )= 2(\vec a \times\vec b) = RHS

LHS is equal to RHS, Hence Proved.

Question:5 Find \lambda and \mu if ( 2 \hat i + 6 \hat j + 27 \hat k ) \times ( \hat i + \lambda j + \mu \hat k ) = \vec 0

Answer:

Given in the question

( 2 \hat i + 6 \hat j + 27 \hat k ) \times ( \hat i + \lambda j + \mu \hat k ) = \vec 0

and we need to find values of \lambda and \mu

\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j & \hat k\\ 2& 6&27 \\ 1& \lambda &\mu \end{vmatrix}=0

\hat i (6\mu-27\lambda)-\hat j(2\mu-27)+\hat k(2\lambda-6)=0

From Here we get,

6\mu-27\lambda=0

2\mu-27=0

2\lambda -6=0

From here, the value of \lambda and \mu is

\lambda = 3 , \: and \: \mu=\frac{27}{2}

Question:6 Given that \vec a . \vec b = 0 \: \:and \: \: \vec a \times \vec b = 0 and . What can you conclude about the vectors \vec a \: \:and \: \: \vec b ?

Answer:

Given in the question

\vec a . \vec b = 0 and \vec a \times \vec b = 0

When \vec a . \vec b = 0 , either |\vec a| =0,\:or\: |\vec b|=0,\vec a\: and \:\vec b are perpendicular to each other

When \vec a \times \vec b = 0 either |\vec a| =0,\:or\: |\vec b|=0,\vec a\: and \:\vec b are parallel to each other

Since two vectors can never be both parallel and perpendicular at same time,we conclude that

|\vec a| =0\:or\: |\vec b|=0

Question:7 Let the vectors \vec a , \vec b , \vec c be given as \vec a_1 \hat i + \vec a_2 \hat j + \vec a_3 \hat k , \vec b_ 1 \hat i + \vec b_ 2 \hat j + \vec b_3 \hat k , \vec c_ 1 \hat i + \vec c_ 2 \hat j + \vec c_ 3 \hat k Then show that \vec a \times ( \vec b + \vec c ) = \vec a \times \vec b + \vec a \times \vec c

Answer:

Given in the question

\\\vec a=\vec a_1 \hat i + \vec a_2 \hat j + \vec a_3 \hat k , \\\vec b=\vec b_ 1 \hat i + \vec b_ 2 \hat j + \vec b_3 \hat k , \\\vec c=\vec c_ 1 \hat i + \vec c_ 2 \hat j + \vec c_ 3 \hat k

We need to show that \vec a \times ( \vec b + \vec c ) = \vec a \times \vec b + \vec a \times \vec c

Now,

\vec a \times ( \vec b + \vec c ) =(\vec a_1 \hat i + \vec a_2 \hat j + \vec a_3 \hat k)\times(\vec b_ 1 \hat i + \vec b_ 2 \hat j + \vec b_3 \hat k +\vec c_ 1 \hat i + \vec c_ 2 \hat j + \vec c_ 3 \hat k)

=(\vec a_1 \hat i + \vec a_2 \hat j + \vec a_3 \hat k)\times((\vec b_ 1+\vec c_1) \hat i + (\vec b_ 2+\vec c_2) \hat j +( \vec b_3 +\vec c_3)\hat k)

=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ a_1&a_2 &a_3 \\ (b_1+c_1)&(b_2+c_2) &(b_3+c_3) \end{vmatrix}

\\=\hat i(a_2(b_3+c_3)-a_3(b_2+c_2))-\hat j(a_1(b_3+c_3)- a_3(b_1+c_1))+\hat k (a_1(b_2+c_2)-a_2(a_1(b_2+c_3)))

\\=\hat i(a_2(b_3+c_3)-a_3(b_2+c_2))-\hat j(a_1(b_3+c_3)-a_3(b_1+c_1))+\hat k (a_1(b_2+c_2)-a_2(a_1(b_2+c_3)))

Now

\vec a \times \vec b + \vec a \times \vec c=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j & \hat k\\ a_1&a_2 &a_3 \\ b_1&b_2 &b_3 \end{vmatrix}+\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j & \hat k\\ a_1&a_2 &a_3 \\ c_1&c_2 &c_3 \end{vmatrix}

\vec a \times \vec b + \vec a \times \vec c=\hat i(a_2b_3-a_3b_2)-\hat j (a_1b_3-a_3b_1)+\hat k(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)+\hat i(a_2c_3-a_3c_2)-\hat j (a_1c_3-a_3c_1)+\hat k(a_1c_2-c_1a_2)

\\=\hat i(a_2(b_3+c_3)-a_3(b_2+c_2))-\hat j(a_1(b_3+c_3)-a_3(b_1+c_1))+\hat k (a_1(b_2+c_2)-a_2(a_1(b_2+c_3)))

Hence they are equal.

Question:8 If either \vec a = \vec 0 \: \: or \: \: \vec b = \vec 0 then \vec a \times \vec b = \vec 0 . Is the converse true? Justify your answer with an example.

Answer:

No, the converse of the statement is not true, as there can be two non zero vectors, the cross product of whose are zero. they are colinear vectors.

Consider an example

\vec a=\hat i +\hat j + \hat k

\vec b =2\hat i +2\hat j + 2\hat k

Here |\vec a| =\sqrt{1^2+1^2+1^2}=\sqrt{3}

|\vec b| =\sqrt{2^2+2^2+2^2}=2\sqrt{3}

\vec a \times \vec b=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ 1&1 &1 \\ 2&2 &2 \end{vmatrix}=\hat i(2-2)-\hat j(2-2)+\hat k(2-2)=0

Hence converse of the given statement is not true.

Question:9 Find the area of the triangle with vertices A(1, 1, 2), B(2, 3, 5) and C(1, 5, 5).

Answer:

Given in the question

vertices A=(1, 1, 2), B=(2, 3, 5) and C=(1, 5, 5). and we need to find the area of the triangle

AB=(2-1)\hat i+(3-1)\hat j+(5-2)\hat k=\hat i+2\hat j+3\hat k

BC=(1-2)\hat i+(5-3)\hat j+(5-5)\hat k=-\hat i+2\hat j

Now as we know

Area of triangle

A=\frac{1}{2}|\vec {AB}\times\vec {BC}|=\frac{1}{2}|(\hat i+2\hat j +3\hat k)\times(-\hat i+2\hat j)|

\\A=\frac{1}{2}\begin{vmatrix} \hat i &\hat j &\hat k \\ 1 &2 &3 \\ -1 &2 &0 \end{vmatrix}=\frac{1}{2}|\hat i(0-6)-\hat j(0-(-3))+\hat k(2-(-2))| \\A=\frac{1}{2}|-6\hat i-3\hat j+4\hat k|

A=\frac{1}{2}*\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-3)^2+(4)^2}=\frac{\sqrt{61}}{2}

The area of the triangle is \frac{\sqrt{61}}{2} square units

Question:10 Find the area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are determined by the vectors \vec a = \hat i - \hat j + 3 \hat k and \vec b = 2\hat i -7 \hat j + \hat k .

Answer:

Given in the question

\vec a = \hat i - \hat j + 3 \hat k

\vec b = 2\hat i -7 \hat j + \hat k

Area of parallelogram with adjescent side \vec a and \vec b ,

A=|\vec a\times\vec b|=|(\vec i-\vec j+3\vec k)\times (2\hat i-7\hat j+\hat k)|

A=\begin{vmatrix} \hat i& \hat j & \hat k\\ 1&-1 &3 \\ 2&-7 &1 \end{vmatrix}=|\hat i(-1+21)-\hat j (1-6)+\hat k (-7+2)|

A=|\hat i(20)-\hat j (-5)+\hat k (-5)|=\sqrt{20^2+5^2+(-5)^2}

A=\sqrt{450}=15\sqrt{2}

The area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are determined by the vectors \vec a = \hat i - \hat j + 3 \hat k and \vec b = 2\hat i -7 \hat j + \hat k is A=\sqrt{450}=15\sqrt{2}

Question:11 Let the vectors \vec a \: \: and\: \: \vec b be such that |\vec a| = 3 \: \: and\: \: |\vec b | = \frac{\sqrt 2 }{3} , then \vec a \times \vec b is a unit vector, if the angle between is \vec a \: \:and \: \: \vec b

\\A ) \pi /6 \\\\ B ) \pi / 4 \\\\ C ) \pi / 3 \\\\ D ) \pi /2

Answer:

Given in the question,

|\vec a| = 3 \: \: and\: \: |\vec b | = \frac{\sqrt 2 }{3}

As given \vec a \times \vec b is a unit vector, which means,

|\vec a \times \vec b|=1

|\vec a| | \vec b|sin\theta=1

3*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}sin\theta=1

sin\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}

Hence the angle between two vectors is \frac{\pi}{4} . Correct option is B.

Question:12 Area of a rectangle having vertices A, B, C and D with position vectors

- \hat i + \frac{1}{2} \hat j + 4 \hat k , \hat i + \frac{1}{2} \hat j + 4 \hat k , \hat i - \frac{1}{2}\hat j + 4 \hat k \: \: and \: \: - \hat i - \frac{1}{2} \hat j + 4 \hat k

(A)1/2

(B) 1

(C) 2

(D) 4

Answer:

Given 4 vertices of rectangle are

\\\vec a=- \hat i + \frac{1}{2} \hat j + 4 \hat k , \\\vec b=\hat i + \frac{1}{2} \hat j + 4 \hat k , \\\vec c= \hat i - \frac{1}{2}\hat j + 4 \hat k \: \: and \: \: \\\vec d= - \hat i - \frac{1}{2} \hat j + 4 \hat k

\vec {AB}=\vec b-\vec a=(1+1)\hat i+(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2})\hat j+(4-4)\hat k=2\hat i

\vec {BC}=\vec c-\vec b=(1-1)\hat i+(-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2})\hat j+(4-4)\hat k=-\hat j

Now,

Area of the Rectangle

A=|\vec {AB}\times\vec {BC}|=|2\hat i \times (-\hat j)|=2

Hence option C is correct.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQs)

1. What are vector quantities?

The quantity that has magnitude and also direction is called a vector quantity.

2. What is the difference between a vector quantity and a scalar quantity?

A scalar quantity has magnitude only whereas a vector quantity has both magnitude and directions.

3. The value of cross products of two parallel vectors is?

The value will be zero since the angle between them is zero. The cross product of two vectors a and b is absin(angle between them). For parallel vectors angle between them is zero. So sin(0)=0.

4. What is the difference between a cross b and b cross a?

The direction of a cross b is opposite to the direction of b cross a. That is (a cross b)=-(b cross a)

5. Is stress a vector quantity?

No, stress is neither a vector nor a scalar. Stress is known as a tensor quantity.

6. What do you mean by a unit vector?

It is a vector with magnitude=1

7. Is the statement” the position of the initial point of equal vectors must be same” true?

No, equal vectors may have different initial points, but the magnitude and directions of equal vectors will be the same. 

8. What is understood from the term “negative of a given vector”?

The negative of a given vector is the vector with the same magnitude but opposite in direction. 

9. How many questions can be expected from vector algebra for the board exam?

Two or three questions from vector algebra can be expected for the CBSE Class 12 Maths board exam.

10. How important is vector algebra for Engineering studies?

Vector algebra is used in almost all branches of engineering. If we consider electrical engineering, vector algebra is used to solve certain electromagnetic, power systems, electrical machines and power electronics problems.
