(Please refer attachment for fig.)

Position vector of point P : r = 15î + 16j -12k .......(1)

Angular velocity vector has a magnitude of 40 rad/sec and its direction is along the axis of rotation as shown in the fig.. above.

y component of angular velocity = 40 x cos53.13 = 24

z component of angular velocity = 40 x sin53.13 = 32

Hence, angular velocity vector can ...
