Question

The section BC is to be drilled in the direction of the vector 3i + 4j + k. Find the angle between the sections AB and BC.

 

A pipeline is to be fitted under a road and can be represented on 3D Cartesian
axes as below, with the x-axis pointing East, the y-axis North, and the z-axis
vertical. The pipeline is to consist of a straight section AB directly under the road,
and another straight section BC connected to the first. All lengths are in metres.
A (0, -40, 0)
y (N)
C (a, b, 0)
B (40, 0, -20)
x (E)
