The vector i + j + k is a, - Vidyadip

MCQ

The vector $\cos\alpha\cos\beta\hat{\text{i}}+\cos\alpha\sin\beta\hat{\text{j}}+\sin\alpha\hat{\text{k}}$ is a,

A
Null vector.
✓
Unit vector.
C
Constant vector.
D
None of these.

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Unit vector.

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