Q 1 :

Three vectors P,Q and R are shown in the figure. Let S be any point on the vector R. The distance between the points P and S is b|R|. The general relation among vectors P,Q and S is            [2017]

[IMAGE 18]

  • S=(1-b)P+bQ

     

  • S=(b-1)P+bQ

     

  • S=(1-b2)P+bQ

     

  • S=(1-b)P+b2Q

     

(1)

Here P+bR=S  R=S-Pb

Also R=Q-P

  S-Pb=Q-P  S-P=bQ-bP

  S=bQ+(1-b)P



Q 2 :

Two vectors A and B are defined as A=ai^ and B=a(cosωti^+sinωtj^), where a is a constant and ω=π6 rad s-1. If |A+B|=3|A-B| at time t=τ for the first time, the value of τ, in seconds, is ______.                 [2018]



(2)

Given: |A+B|=3|A-B|

|ai^+acosωti^+asinωtj^|=3|ai^-acosωti^-asinωtj^|

|(1+cosωt)i^+sinωtj^|=3|(1-cosωt)i^-sinωtj^|

          2+2cosωt=32-2cosωt

 1+cosωt=3(1-cosωt)

4cosωt=2    cosωt=12         or, ωt=π3

 π6×τ=π3    τ=2.00 seconds
