Question : 3 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Find the magnitude of each of two vectors a and b, having the same magnitude such that the angle between them is 60 and their scalar product is 92
Solution:  
Given that the magnitude of each of the two vectors a and b have same magnitude.
|a| = |b| ... (i)
the angle between a and b is 60°
⇒ θ = 60°
and a . b = 32 ... (iii)
Since,
a . b = |a| |b| cos θ
|a| |a| cos 60° = 92 From (i),(ii) and (iii)
|a|2 × 12 = 92
|a|2 = 9
|a| = 3
|a| = |b| = 3 ... From (i)
