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

\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 3 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}, \overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -1 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}, \overrightarrow{OC} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 2 \\ p \end{pmatrix} \text{ and } \overrightarrow{OD} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 0 \\ q \end{pmatrix}\),

where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants. Find

(i) the unit vector in the direction of \(\overrightarrow{AB}\),

(ii) the value of \(p\) for which angle \(AOC = 90^\circ\),

(iii) the values of \(q\) for which the length of \(\overrightarrow{AD}\) is 7 units.
