Position of a particle (Mechanics)

This article ” Position of a particle ” is for B.Sc. students. We have also defined inertial and non inertial frame of reference in this article. Position of a particle (a) By Position Vector:- The line joining the point P and the origin ‘O’ of the frame of reference that is $\vec{PO}$ is known as position vector and is also represented by $\vec{r}$. (b) By … Continue reading Position of a particle (Mechanics) »

Vector Questions

This page contains Vector questions for B.Sc. first year mechanics. You can also practice these questions if you are appearing for any after B.Sc. entrance exams(ex. IIT JAM) for pursuing M.Sc. Question 1 Define direction cosines of a vector. If  $l_1$, $m_1$, $n_1$ and $l_2$, $m_2$, $n_2$ are the direction cosines of two vectors show that the angle $\theta$ between them is given by \$cos\theta … Continue reading Vector Questions »
