Three particlesP, QandRare moving along the vectorsA→=i^+j^,  B→=j^+k^andC→=-i^+j^, respectively. They strike on a point and start to move in different directions. Now particlePis moving normal to the plane which contains vectorA→andB→.Similarly particleQis moving normal to the plane which contains vectorA→andC→.The angle between the direction of motion ofPandQiscos-11x.Then the value ofxis        .

Answer:
3.00
Solution:

Direction of P, v^1=±A→×B→|A→×B→|=±i^-j^+k^3

Direction of Q, v^2=±A→×C→|A→×C→|=±2k^2=±k^

Angle between v^1 and v^2,

v^1·v^2v^1v^2=±13(1)(1)=±13

⇒x=3
