If A = B + C and magnitudes of A , B and C are 5, 4 and 3 units...
If and magnitudes of and are 5, 4 and 3 units respectively. The angle between and is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Given
Rearranging the terms, we get:
Taking the dot product of with itself:
where \vec{A}\vec{C}, , and :
4^2 = 5^2 + 3^2 - 2(5)(3)\cos\theta16 = 25 + 9 - 30\cos\theta16 = 34 - 30\cos\theta30\cos\theta = 18\cos\theta = \dfrac{18}{30} = \dfrac{3}{5}\theta = \cos^{-1} \left(\dfrac{3}{5}\right)
Answer: \cos^{-1}\left({3}/{5}\right)
