Find the angle between x2 + yz = 2 and x + 2y - z = 2 at point 1,1,1.

Answer»

\(\vec ▽\)S1 = (\(\hat i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\hat j\frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\hat k\frac{\partial}{\partial z}\)) (x2 + yz)

 = (2x\(\hat i\) + z\(\hat j\) + y\(\hat k\))

\(\vec ▽\)S1) (1, 1, 1) = \(2\hat i+\hat j+\hat k\)

 \(\vec ▽\)S 2\((\hat i\frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\hat j\frac{\partial}{\partial y}+\hat k\frac{\partial}{\partial z})(x + 2y-z)\)

 = \((\hat i+2\hat j-\hat k)\)

Let angle between them is θ

 \(\vec ▽\)S1 =  \(\vec ▽\)S 2 = (\(2\hat i+\hat j+\hat k\)).(\(\hat i+2\hat j-\hat k\))

⇒ \(\sqrt6.\sqrt6 cos\theta=2 + 2- 1\)

⇒ cos  θ = 3/6 = 1/2 = cos 60°

⇒ θ = 60°

Hence, angle between them is 60°.
