    Angle Cube
AI Thread Summary
To find the angle of intersection between the planes formed by triangles EBC and ECD, it's essential to calculate the normal vectors of these planes. The discussion suggests using the scalar triple product, which involves the cross product and dot product of the vectors. By substituting the appropriate values into the equation, the angle of intersection can be determined. One participant calculated the angle to be approximately 55.24 degrees. This method provides a systematic approach to solving the problem.

Homework Statement


A cube is positioned with its vertices at the following points:

A=(0,0,0) C=(1,1,0) E=(0,0,1) G=(1,1,1)

B=(1,0,0) D=(0,1,0) F=(1,0,1) H=(0,1,1)

What is the angle of intersection of the planes formed by the triangles EBC and ECD


Homework Equations



AB=ABcosθ

Ab=Absinθ

The Attempt at a Solution




I am stuck on this one. I drew a picture but I can seem to figure anything out. Could somebody give me a hint?

To find the angle, you need to find the normal vectors to the planes.
 
hi. you can solve by using scalar triple product * = cross product . = dot product
[(A*B).C] = |A| |B| sin 90 |c| cos(θ) here theta angle made by intersection of planes
if substitute all values you will get angle of intersection of two planes
I got 55.24 degree
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
