enter image description here

The given vector is V = ai + bj + ck

a=0, b=1, c=1

also |¯V|=a2+b2+c2

Step 1: Rotation of vector V about X-axis by an angle θ=+θ1 {+ve indicates CCW}

Now, ,V1=bj+ck

Also,

1(V1)=b2+c2

enter image description here

From figure, sinθ1=b/b2+c2

cosθ1=c/b2+c2

Let, b2+c2=λ

So, …
