For three unit vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c}$ satisfying $|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|^{2}+|\vec{b}-\vec{c}|^{2}+|\vec{c}-\vec{a}|^{2}=9$ and $|2\vec{a}+k\vec{b}+k\vec{c}|=3$, the positive value of $k$ is:

If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are two vectors such that $|\vec{a}| = 2$ and $|\vec{b}| = 3$, then the maximum value of $3 |(3\vec{a} + 2\vec{b})| + 4 |(3\vec{a} - 2\vec{b})|$ is:

If $\frac{\pi}{2} < \theta \leq \pi$ and $|\overline{a}|=5, |\overline{b}|=13, |\overline{a} \times \overline{b}|=25$,then the value of $\overline{a} \cdot \overline{b}$ is

Show that the points $A, B$ and $C$ with position vectors $\vec{a}=3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{c}=\hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$ respectively form the vertices of a right-angled triangle.

Let two non-collinear unit vectors $\hat{a}$ and $\hat{b}$ form an acute angle. $A$ point $P$ moves so that at any time $t$ the position vector $\overline{OP}$ (where $O$ is the origin) is given by $\hat{a} \cos t + \hat{b} \sin t$. When $P$ is farthest from origin $O$,let $M$ be the length of $\overline{OP}$ and $\hat{u}$ be the unit vector along $\overline{OP}$. Then,
