MCQ
$\vec A$ and $\vec B$ are two vectors and $\theta$ is the angle between them, if $|\vec A \times \vec B|=\sqrt 3(\vec A \cdot \vec B) $ the value of $\theta$ is ......... $^o$
  • $60$
  • B
    $45$
  • C
    $180$
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$60$
a
$\left| {\vec A \times \vec B} \right| = \sqrt 3 \left( {\vec A \cdot \vec B} \right)$

$AB\sin \theta  = \sqrt 3 AB\cos \theta$

$\tan \theta  = \sqrt 3$

$\theta  = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt 3  = {60^ \circ }$
