Question

 Let ab and c be three vectors such that |a|=3,b=5,b·c=10 and the angle between 

b and c is π3 . If a is perpendicular to the vector b×c , then a×(b×c) is equal to 

Moderate
Solution

|a|=3,b¯|=5            b¯.c¯=10| |b¯|ccos(b¯,c)=10 5. ccosπ3=10 c¯=4(a¯,b¯×c¯)=90°|a¯×(b¯×c¯)|=|a¯||b¯×c|sin(a¯,b¯×c¯) 3.5.4sinπ3·sinπ23.5·4·32=30
