. Write two different vectors having same direction.
. Write two different vectors having same direction.
Official Solution
Let $\vec a = \hat i + \hat j + \hat k$ and $\vec b = 2\hat i + 2\hat j + 2\hat k$
Direction cosines of $\vec a$ are $< \cfrac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }},\cfrac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }},\cfrac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} >$
Direction cosines of $\vec b$ are $< \cfrac{2}{{\sqrt {12} }},\cfrac{2}{{\sqrt {12} }},\cfrac{2}{{\sqrt {12} }} >$
i.e., $< \cfrac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }},\cfrac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}\cfrac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }} >$
Hence, $\vec a \ne \vec b$ but $\vec a$ and $\vec b$ have same direction.
