(a) Let two rods placed on the ground be represented by vectors $4\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ and $-2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$. Find a vector representing a flag-post of height 5 m that has to be erected perpendicular to both the rods. OR (b) A unit vector $\vec{a}$ is such that it makes an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with x-axis, $\frac{\pi}{3}$ with y-axis and an acute angle $\theta$ with z-axis. Find $\theta$ and the components of $\vec{a}$.
