5

Show that each of the given three vectors is a unit vector:

Also, show that they are mutually perpendicular to each other.

Let




Now we need to find out the magnitude of





Since,


∴ the three given vectors are unit vectors.


To show that each of three vectors are mutually perpendicular to each other


We have to show















Since,


∴ are mutually perpendicular to each other.
