Question

The vector $(\cos\text{a}\cos\beta)\hat{\text{i}}+(\cos\text{a}\sin\beta)\hat{\text{j}}+(\sin\text{a})\hat{\text{k}}$is a:

Null vector
Unit vector
Constant vector
None of these

✓

Answer

Unit vector

Solution:
Let $\vec{\text{a}}=(\cos\text{a}\cos\beta)\hat{\text{i}}+(\cos\text{a}\sin\beta)\hat{\text{j}}+(\sin\text{a})\hat{\text{k}}$
$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{\cos^2\text{a}\cos^2\beta+\cos^2\text{a}\sin^2\beta+\sin^2\text{a}}$
$=\sqrt{\cos^2\text{a}(\cos^2\beta+\sin^2\beta)+\sin^2\text{a}}$
$=\sqrt{\cos^2\text{a}(1)+\sin^2\text{a}}$
$=\sqrt{\cos^2\text{a}+\sin^2\text{a}}$
$=\sqrt{1}$
$=1$
So, $\vec{\text{a}}$ is a unit vector.
