Let \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\) are unit vectors such that \(\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0\). If \(\mathbf{r}\) is any vector coplanar with \(\mathbf{u}\) and \(\mathbf{v}\), then the magnitude of the vector \(\mathbf{r} \times(\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v})\) is

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B \(1\)
  3. C \(|\mathbf{r}|\)
  4. D \(2|\mathbf{r}|\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(|\mathbf{r}|\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(|\mathbf{u}|=|\mathbf{v}|=1, \mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0\) To find, \(|\mathbf{r} \times(\mathbf{u} \times \mathbf{v})|\) \(\because \quad \mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v}=0\) \(\Rightarrow|\mathbf{u}||\mathbf{v}| \cos \theta=0\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \cos \theta=0\)…
