What are the direction cosines of the y-axis?

Answer»

To find : Direction cosines of the y- axis

Formula used : If a line makes angles αo, βo and γo with the positive directions of x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively. then direction cosines are given by cos α, cos β, cos γ 

 y-axis makes 90o with the x and z axes

α = 90o, β = 0o and γ = 90o

Direction cosines of the line is cos 90o, cos 0o, cos 90o

0, 1, 0

Direction cosines of the line is 0, 1 , 0
