Write down a unit vector in XY-plane, making an angle of 30° with the positive direction of x-axis.

Question: Write down a unit vector in XY-plane, making an angle of 30 with the positive direction ofx-axis. Solution: If $\vec{r}$ is a unit vector in the $\mathrm{XY}$-plane, then $\vec{r}=\cos \theta \hat{i}+\sin \theta \hat{j}$. Here,is the angle made by the unit vector with the positive direction of thex-axis. Therefore, for= 30: $\vec{r}=\cos 30^{\circ} \hat{i}+\sin 30^{\circ} \hat{j}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{i}+\frac{1}{2} \hat{j}$ Hence, the required unit vector is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat...
