Question
Find the angle between two vectors $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ with magnitudes 1 and 2 respectively and when $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|=\sqrt{3.}$
✓

Answer

Let $\theta$ be the angle between $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}.$
We know $\big|\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}\big|=|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|\sin\theta$
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{3}=(1)(2)\sin\theta$
$\Rightarrow\sin\theta=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$
