Find the direction ratios and direction cosines of the vector .

Solution:


Direction ratios are ratios of and component of the vector while direction cosine are cosines of angle between the vector and -axis, -axis and – axis respectively.

Also sum of square of direction cosines is 1 . In the given question direction ratios are while for direction cosines, we need to find the unit vector

So in this question direction cosines are
