Question
Write the direction cosines of the vector $\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}$ .

Answer

Given: $\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+3\hat{\text{k}}$
Then, direction cosines are
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+3^2}},\frac{2}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+3^2}},\frac{3}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+3^2}}$ or, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{14}},\frac{2}{\sqrt{14}},\frac{3}{\sqrt{14}}$
