Provide solution for RD Sharma Maths Class 12 Chapter 24 Vector or Cross Product exercise Very Short Answer Question, question 18.

Answers (1)

ANSWER:

y^2+ z^2

HINT:

Simplify using cross product.

GIVEN: \hat{r} =x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}+z \hat{k}

SOLUTION:

\begin{aligned} \hat{r} &=x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}+z \hat{k} \\ \therefore \hat{r} \times \hat{i} &=\left|\begin{array}{lll} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ x & y & z \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right| \\ &=\hat{i}(0-0)-\hat{j}(0-z)+\hat{k}(0-y) \\ &=+z \hat{j}-y \widehat{k} \end{aligned}\begin{gathered} \therefore|\hat{r} \times \hat{i}|=\sqrt{(z)^{2}+(-y)^{2}} \\ |\hat{\imath} \times \hat{i}|=\sqrt{z^{2}+y^{2}} \end{gathered}

Squaring both the sides

\begin{aligned} |\hat{r} \times \hat{i}|^{2}=&\left(\sqrt{z^{2}+y^{2}}\right)^{2} \\ &|\hat{r} \times \hat{i}|=z^{2}+y^{2} \end{aligned}
