Relative to an origin O, the position vectors of the points A, B and C are given by

\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}, \quad \overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 3 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix} \quad \text{and} \quad \overrightarrow{OC} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 6 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}.\)

  1. Use a scalar product to find angle \(AOB\).
  2. Find the vector which is in the same direction as \(\overrightarrow{AC}\) and of magnitude 15 units.
  3. Find the value of the constant \(p\) for which \(p\overrightarrow{OA} + \overrightarrow{OC}\) is perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{OB}\).
