Need solution for RD Sharma Maths Class 12 Chapter 25 Scalar Triple Product Exercise Very Short Answer Question, question 11.

Answers (1)

Answer:

-10

Hint:

Use scalar triple product formula.

Given:

Vectors are \vec{a}=2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}, \vec{b}=-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k} \text { and } \vec{c}=3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}

Solution:

We have

\left.\begin{array}{l} \vec{a}=2 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k} \\ \vec{b}=-\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k} \\ \vec{c}=3 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k} \end{array}\right\}                          Eq.(i)

\begin{aligned} \text { Now }(\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) &=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{\imath} & \hat{\jmath} & k \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right| \\ &=\hat{i}(4-1)-\hat{j}(-2-3)+\hat{k}(-1-6) \end{aligned}

=3 \hat{i}-(-5) \hat{j}+(-7) \hat{k}=3 \hat{i}+5 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}

\therefore \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{a}} \cdot(\overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{b}} \times \overrightarrow{\boldsymbol{c}})=(2 \hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}+\hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}}+3 \hat{\boldsymbol{k}}) \cdot(3 \hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}+5 \hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}}-7 \widehat{\boldsymbol{k}})

=6(\hat{\imath} . \hat{\imath})+10(\hat{\imath} . \hat{\jmath})-14(\hat{\imath} . \hat{k})+3(\hat{\jmath} \cdot \hat{\imath})+5(\hat{\jmath} \cdot \hat{\jmath})-7(\hat{\jmath} \cdot \hat{k})+9(\hat{k} \cdot \hat{\imath})+15(\hat{k} \cdot \hat{\jmath})-21(\widehat{k}.\widehat{k})

\begin{aligned} &=6.1+0-0+0+5-0+0+0-21.1\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\begin{array}{l} \because \hat{\imath} . \hat{\imath}=\hat{\jmath} \cdot \hat{\jmath}=\hat{k} \cdot \hat{k}=1, \hat{\imath} . \hat{\jmath}=\hat{\jmath} . \hat{\imath}=0 \\ \hat{\imath} \cdot \hat{k}=\hat{k} \cdot \hat{\imath}=0, \hat{\jmath} \cdot \hat{k}=\hat{k} \cdot \hat{\jmath}=0 \end{array}\right] \\ &=6+5-21 \\ &=11-21=-10 \end{aligned}
