Provide Solution for RD Sharma Class 12 Chapter 23 Scalar or Dot Products Exercise Very Short Answer Question 20

Answers (1)

ANSWER:-  \theta = \frac{\pi}{3}

GIVEN:  \theta=\left(0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right) \text { and } \vec{a}=(\sin \theta \hat{i}+(\cos \theta \hat{j}) \text { and } \vec{b}=\hat{i}-\sqrt{3} \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}   are perpendicular

HINTS: use the formula of perpendicular vectors

SOLUTION:if vectors are perpendicular,then

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow[(\sin \theta \hat{i}+(\cos \theta) \hat{j}] \cdot[\hat{i}-\sqrt{3} \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}]=0 \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow \sin \theta-\sqrt{3} \cos \theta=0

Divide the equation by  \cos \theta

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}-\frac{\sqrt{3} \cos \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{0}{\cos \theta} \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow \tan \theta-\sqrt{3}=0 \Rightarrow \tan \theta=\sqrt{3} \\

\Rightarrow \tan \theta-\tan \frac{\pi}{3} \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{\pi}{3}
