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

\(\overrightarrow{OA} = 2\mathbf{i} + 3\mathbf{j} - \mathbf{k}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB} = 4\mathbf{i} - 3\mathbf{j} + 2\mathbf{k}\).

  1. Use a scalar product to find angle \(AOB\), correct to the nearest degree.
  2. Find the unit vector in the direction of \(\overrightarrow{AB}\).
  3. The point C is such that \(\overrightarrow{OC} = 6\mathbf{j} + p\mathbf{k}\), where \(p\) is a constant. Given that the lengths of \(\overrightarrow{AB}\) and \(\overrightarrow{AC}\) are equal, find the possible values of \(p\).
