The vector $\vec{a} = \alpha \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \beta \hat{k}$ lies in the plane of $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$ and $\vec{c} = \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and bisects the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$. Find the possible values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$.

  • A
    $\alpha = 2, \beta = 2$
  • B
    $\alpha = 1, \beta = 2$
  • C
    $\alpha = 2, \beta = -1$
  • D
    $\alpha = 1, \beta = 1$

$a, b, c$ are three vectors such that $a + b + c = 0$,$|a| = 1, |b| = 2, |c| = 3$. Then $a \cdot b + b \cdot c + c \cdot a$ is equal to:

Let two non-collinear vectors $\hat{a}$ and $\hat{b}$ form an acute angle. $A$ point $P$ moves such that at any time $t$,the position vector $\overline{OP}$,where $O$ is the origin,is given by $\hat{a} \sin t + \hat{b} \cos t$. When $P$ is farthest from the origin $O$,let $M$ be the length of $\overline{OP}$ and $\hat{u}$ be the unit vector along $\overline{OP}$. Then:

If the resultant of two forces is of magnitude $P$ and equal to one of them and perpendicular to it,then the other force is
