Question: A 3 - dimensional right - handed orthogonal coordinate system, hat ( i ) - hat ( j ) - hat ( k ) ,

A 3-dimensional right-handed orthogonal coordinate system, hat(i)-hat(j)-hat(k), is defined. Given a vector
?bar(W) with the following properties measured with respect to this reference frame.
|bar(W)P|=2,=30,=60
Find: values of w1,w2,w3 such that hat(u)W=w1What(i)+w2hat(j)+w3hat(k), where hat(u)W is the unit vector
pointing in the same direction as ?bar(W).(Hint: ?bar(W)p is the projection of ?bar(W) down to the hat(i)-hat(j) plane,
thus does NOT measure directly between ?bar(W) and hat(i).)
