**Problem Statement:**

Find a unit vector orthogonal to both **u** and **v**.

**Given Vectors:**

\[
\mathbf{u} = 8\mathbf{i} - 16\mathbf{j} + 4\mathbf{k}
\]

\[
\mathbf{v} = 16\mathbf{i} + 32\mathbf{j} - 12\mathbf{k}
\]

**Task:**

Calculate the cross product of **u** and **v** to find a vector orthogonal to both. Then, find the unit vector in the direction of this orthogonal vector.

**Note:**

There appears to be an empty text box with a red cross below the vectors, possibly indicating an incorrect or incomplete input.
