The position vectors of points A and B, relative to an origin O, are given by
\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} 6 \\ -2 \\ -6 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ k \\ -3 \end{pmatrix}\),
where \(k\) is a constant.
- Find the value of \(k\) for which angle \(AOB\) is \(90^\circ\).
- Find the values of \(k\) for which the lengths of \(OA\) and \(OB\) are equal.
The point C is such that \(\overrightarrow{AC} = 2\overrightarrow{CB}\).
- In the case where \(k = 4\), find the unit vector in the direction of \(\overrightarrow{OC}\).
