If ' \(\theta\) ' is the angle between two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) such that \(|\vec{a}|=7,|\vec{b}|=1\) and \(|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2=k^2-(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})^2\), then the values of \(k\) and \(\theta\) are
- A \(\mathrm{k}=1, \theta=45^{\circ}\)
- B \(\mathrm{k}=7, \theta=60^{\circ}\)
- C \(\mathrm{k}=49, \theta=90^{\circ}\)
- D \(\mathrm{k}=7\) and \(\theta\) is arbitrary
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{k}=7\) and \(\theta\) is arbitrary
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & k^2=|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|^2+(\vec{\alpha} \cdot \vec{\beta})^2 \\ & =|\vec{a}|^2|\vec{b}|^2\left(\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta\right) \\ & =49\end{aligned}\)
