$A$ plane $\pi_1$ contains the vectors $\bar{i}+\bar{j}$ and $\bar{i}+2\bar{j}$. Another plane $\pi_2$ contains the vectors $2\bar{i}-\bar{j}$ and $3\bar{i}+2\bar{k}$. $\bar{a}$ is a vector parallel to the line of intersection of $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$. If the angle $\theta$ between $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{i}-2\bar{j}+2\bar{k}$ is acute,then $\theta=$

The point of intersection of the line passing through the points $\hat{i}-\hat{j}$ and $\hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and the plane passing through the points $2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}$,$2 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$,and $\hat{i}+2 \hat{k}$ is

Let the plane $P: \vec{r} \cdot \vec{a} = d$ contain the line of intersection of two planes $\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}) = 6$ and $\vec{r} \cdot (-6\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} - \hat{k}) = 7$. If the plane $P$ passes through the point $(2, 3, 1/2)$,then the value of $\frac{|13\vec{a}|^2}{d^2}$ is equal to

Let $P$ be the plane $\sqrt{3} x+2 y+3 z=16$ and let $S=\left\{\alpha \hat{i}+\beta \hat{j}+\gamma \hat{k}: \alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2=1 \text{ and the distance of } (\alpha, \beta, \gamma) \text{ from the plane } P \text{ is } \frac{7}{2}\right\}$. Let $\overrightarrow{u}, \overrightarrow{v}$ and $\overrightarrow{w}$ be three distinct vectors in $S$ such that $|\overrightarrow{u}-\overrightarrow{v}|=|\overrightarrow{v}-\overrightarrow{w}|=|\overrightarrow{w}-\overrightarrow{u}|$. Let $V$ be the volume of the parallelepiped determined by vectors $\overrightarrow{u}, \overrightarrow{v}$ and $\overrightarrow{w}$. Then the value of $\frac{80}{\sqrt{3}} V$ is
