Provide Solution For R. D.Sharma Maths Class 12 Chapter 22 Algebra of Vectors  Exercise Very Short Answer Type  Question 18 Maths Textbook Solution.

Answers (1)

Answer: 2

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: If a vector makes angles with \alpha ,\beta &\gamma with OX, OY and OZ respectively, Write \sin ^{2}\alpha +\sin ^{2}\beta +\sin ^{2}\gamma

Solution: Suppose, a vector \vec{OP}makes angles \alpha ,\beta &\gamma  with OX, OY and OZ respectively

            Then direction cosines of vectors are given by l=\cos \alpha, m=\cos \beta, n=\cos \gamma

            Consider,

                        \sin ^{2} \alpha+\sin ^{2} \beta+\sin ^{2} \gamma=\left(1-\cos ^{2} \alpha\right)+\left(1-\cos ^{2} \beta\right)+\left(1-\cos ^{2} \gamma\right)

                                                                       \begin{aligned} &=3-\left(\cos ^{2} \alpha+\cos ^{2} \beta+\cos ^{2} \gamma\right)\\ &=3-\left(l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}\right)\\ &=3-1 \quad\left[l^{2}+m^{2}+n^{2}=1\right]\\ &=2 \end{aligned}
