We can use Eq. 1.7 to find A
A = 7 and B = 4) and the angle
Then we get:
26. Find the angle between A = -5i - 3j + 2k and B -2j - 2k. [Ser4 7-20]
Eq. 1.7 allows us to find the cosine of the angle between two vectors as long as we know
their magnitudes and their dot product. The magnitudes of the vectors A and B are:
(−5)² + (−3)² + (2)² = 6.164
B =
and their dot product is:
A B = AB cos = (7)(4) cos 60° = 14
A = A² + A² + A² =
=
which then gives
A · B = AxBx+ AyBy + A₂B₂ = (−5)(0) + (−3)(−2) + (2)(−2) = 2

√B²+ B²+ B² = √(0)² + (−2)² + (−2)² = 2.828

Then from Eq. 1.7, if o is the angle between A and B, we have

ay = 1.6, b = 0.50, by = 4.5. (a) Find the angle between the directions of a and
b. (b) Find the components of a vector c that is perpendicular to a, is in the xy
plane and has a magnitude of 5.0 units. [HRW5 3-51]
(a) The scalar product has something to do with the angle between two vectors... if the
angle between a and b is o then from Eq. 1.7 we have:
a =
Now find the magnitudes of a and b:
b =
We can compute the right-hand-side of this equation since we know the components of a
and b. First, find a b. Using Eq. 1.8 we find:

(b) Let the components of the vector c be ca and cy (we are told that it lies in the xy plane).
If c is perpendicular to a then the dot product of the two vectors must give zero. This tells
us:
a carCr
Aycy = (3.2) C+ (1.6)cy = 0
This equation doesn't allow us to solve for the components of c but it does give us:
Cy= -0.50cy
