Question

the angle between two vector A and B is theta .find the magnitude and direction of vector A×vectorB and vector A. vector B​

Answer 1

Answer:

The angle α which the resultant R makes with A is given by

tanα=

A+Bcosθ

Bsinθ

or

cos(θ/2)

sin(θ/2)

=

A+Bcosθ

2Bsin(θ/2)cos(θ/2)

which gives A+Bcosθ=2Bcos
