The direction cosines of the vector 2 i + j -2 k is equal to
Options
- A2 3 , 1 3 ,- 2 3
- B2 3 , 1 3 , 2 3
- C1 3 , 2 3 ,- 2 3
- D2 3 , 2 3 , 1 3
Correct answer
A. 2 3 , 1 3 ,- 2 3
Step-by-step solution
Let a =2 i + j -2 k So, | a |= 4+1+4 = 9 =3 So, direction cosines of vector are 2 3 , 1 3 ,- 2 3 .
