Vectors - Direction cosines

  • Introduction to vectors:
    • A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
    • It is represented by an arrow, where the length of the arrow represents the magnitude and the direction of the arrow represents the direction.
  • Components of a vector:
    • A vector can be broken down into its components along the coordinate axes.
    • For example, a vector A can be represented as A = (Ax, Ay, Az).
  • Unit vector:
    • A unit vector has a magnitude of 1 and is used to indicate the direction of a vector.
    • It is denoted by a caret symbol (^) on top of the vector symbol.
  • Direction cosines:
    • Direction cosines are the cosines of the angles that a vector makes with the positive directions of the coordinate axes.
    • They are denoted by l, m, and n.
    • The direction cosines of a vector A are given by l = Ax/|A|, m = Ay/|A|, and n = Az/|A|, where |A| represents the magnitude of vector A.
  • Definition of direction cosines:
    • The direction cosines of a vector are the cosines of the angles that the vector makes with the positive directions of the coordinate axes.
