Question
The vector $\cos\alpha\cos\beta\hat{\text{i}}+\cos\alpha\sin\beta\hat{\text{j}}+\sin\alpha\hat{\text{k}}$ is a,
  1. Null vector.
  2. Unit vector.
  3. Constant vector.
  4. None of these.

Answer

  1. Unit vector
Solution:
Given: The vector $\cos\alpha\cos\beta\hat{\text{i}}+\cos\alpha\sin\beta\hat{\text{j}}+\sin\alpha\hat{\text{k}}$. Then,
$\big|\cos\alpha\cos\beta\hat{\text{i}}+\cos\alpha\sin\beta\hat{\text{j}}+\sin\alpha\hat{\text{k}}\big|$
$=\sqrt{\cos^2\alpha\cos^2\beta+\cos^2\alpha\sin^2\beta+\sin^2\alpha}$
$=\sqrt{\cos^2\alpha+\sin^2\alpha}=1$
