Question

Let $\vec{u,} \vec{v} and \vec{w}$ be vectors such $\vec{u} + \vec{v} + \vec{w} = \vec{0} .$ If $|\vec{u}| = 3, |\vec{v}| = 4 and |\vec{w}| = 5,$ then find $\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v} + \vec{v} \cdot \vec{w} + \vec{w} \cdot \vec{u} .$

Solution

$Given that \vec{u} + \vec{v} + \vec{w} = 0 \Rightarrow |\vec{u} + \vec{v} + \vec{w}| = 0 \Rightarrow {|\vec{u} + \vec{v} + \vec{w}|}^{2} = 0 \Rightarrow {|\vec{u}|}^{2} + {|\vec{v}|}^{2} + {|\vec{w}|}^{2} + 2 (\vec{u} . \vec{v} + \vec{v} . \vec{w} + \vec{w} . \vec{u}) = 0 \Rightarrow 3^{2} + 4^{2} + 5^{2} + 2 (\vec{u} . \vec{v} + \vec{v} . \vec{w} + \vec{w} . \vec{u}) = 0 (Given : |\vec{u}| = 3, |\vec{v}| = 4 and |\vec{w}| = 5) \Rightarrow 9 + 16 + 25 + 2 (\vec{u} . \vec{v} + \vec{v} . \vec{w} + \vec{w} . \vec{u}) = 0 \Rightarrow 50 + 2 (\vec{u} . \vec{v} + \vec{v} . \vec{w} + \vec{w} . \vec{u}) = 0 \Rightarrow 2 (\vec{u} . \vec{v} + \vec{v} . \vec{w} + \vec{w} . \vec{u}) = - 50 ∴ \vec{u} . \vec{v} + \vec{v} . \vec{w} + \vec{w} . \vec{u} = \frac{- 50}{2} = - 25$
