Question
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $|\vec{{\text{a}}}|=10,|\vec{{\text{b}}}|=2$ and $\vec{{\text{a}}}\cdot\vec{{\text{b}}}=12,$ then value of $|\vec{{\text{a}}}\times\vec{\text{b}}|$ is:
  1. 5.
  2. 10.
  3. 14.
  4. 16.

Answer

  1. 16.
Solution:
Here, $|\vec{{\text{a}}}|=10,|\vec{{\text{b}}}|=2$ and $\vec{{\text{a}}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=12$ [given]
$\therefore\vec{{\text{a}}}\cdot\vec{\text{b}}=|\vec{{\text{a}}}||\vec{{\text{b}}}|\cos\theta$
$12=10\times2\cos\theta$
$\Rightarrow\cos\theta=\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\sin\theta=\sqrt{1-\cos\theta}$
$=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}$
$\sin\theta=\pm\frac{4}{5}$
$\therefore|\vec{{\text{a}}}\times\vec{{\text{b}}}|=|\vec{{\text{a}}}||\vec{{\text{b}}}||\sin\theta|$
$=10\times2\times\frac{4}{5}$
$=16$
