Finding the angle between a line and plane exercise












0












$begingroup$


The aim is to find the angle between a line and plane and if they intersect then the point where they do that.



given: $$ frac{x+1}{2}=frac{y-3}{4}=frac{z}{3}, 3x-3y+2z-5=0 $$



What I have found out:



s=(2; 4; 3)
n=(3; -3; 2)
$$|s*n|=|3*2+(-3)*4+2*3|=6-12+6=0 $$
$$|s|=sqrt{29}$$
$$|n|=sqrt{22}$$



$$ sin=frac{0}{sqrt{29}sqrt{22}} $$



angle is 0 degrees.



Solution



The angle between them is 0, this means they are parallel.



So I take the point P that is on the line



$$ P(-1,3,0) $$
and replace it in the plane equation:



$$ 3*(-1)-3*3+2*0-5=-17$$



-17 is not equal to 0



they don't intersect.

What you calculated is not the angle between the line and the plane, but between (a direction vector of) the line and the normal (vector) of the plane, which is a vector perpendicular to the plane.




What I have found out:



s=(2; 4; 3)
n=(3; -3; 2)
$$mathbf{s}cdotmathbf{n}=3*2+(-3)*4+2*3=6-12+6=0 $$




This dot product is zero, so the line is perpendicular to the normal, not to the plane. But that means the line and the plane aren't perpendicular, but parallel!



That leaves two options:




  • they do not intersect, so they have no points in common;

  • the line lies within the plane, so they have all points in common.


It is easy to see that $(-1,3,0)$ is a point on the line; does it lie in the plane?

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question
