The diagram shows the roof of a house. The base of the roof, \(OABC\), is rectangular and horizontal with \(OA = CB = 14 \, \text{m}\) and \(OC = AB = 8 \, \text{m}\). The top of the roof \(DE\) is 5 m above the base and \(DE = 6 \, \text{m}\). The sloping edges \(OD, CD, AE\) and \(BE\) are all equal in length.
Unit vectors \(\mathbf{i}\) and \(\mathbf{j}\) are parallel to \(OA\) and \(OC\) respectively and the unit vector \(\mathbf{k}\) is vertically upwards.
The diagram shows a triangular prism with a horizontal rectangular base ADFC, where CF = 12 units and DF = 6 units. The vertical ends ABC and DEF are isosceles triangles with AB = BC = 5 units. The mid-points of BE and DF are M and N respectively. The origin O is at the mid-point of AC.
Unit vectors i, j and k are parallel to OC, ON and OB respectively.
The diagram shows a solid cylinder standing on a horizontal circular base, centre O and radius 4 units. The line BA is a diameter and the radius OC is at 90ยฐ to OA. Points O', A', B' and C' lie on the upper surface of the cylinder such that OO', AA', BB' and CC' are all vertical and of length 12 units. The mid-point of BB' is M.
Unit vectors i, j and k are parallel to OA, OC and OO' respectively.
(i) Express each of the vectors \(\overrightarrow{MO}\) and \(\overrightarrow{MC}\) in terms of i, j and k.
(ii) Hence find the angle OMC.
Relative to an origin O, the position vectors of the points A, B, C and D, shown in the diagram, are given by
\(\overrightarrow{OA} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 3 \\ -4 \end{pmatrix}, \overrightarrow{OB} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ -3 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix}, \overrightarrow{OC} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ -2 \\ 5 \end{pmatrix} \text{ and } \overrightarrow{OD} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 2 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}.\)
The diagram shows a solid figure ABCDEF in which the horizontal base ABC is a triangle right-angled at A. The lengths of AB and AC are 8 units and 4 units respectively and M is the mid-point of AB. The point D is 7 units vertically above A. Triangle DEF lies in a horizontal plane with DE, DF and FE parallel to AB, AC and CB respectively and N is the mid-point of FE. The lengths of DE and DF are 4 units and 2 units respectively. Unit vectors i, j and k are parallel to \overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{AC} and \overrightarrow{AD} respectively.
