Question
**Educational Content for HW 14 on Vectors**

**Instructions:**
Use the information about vectors \( \vec{S} \) and \( \vec{T} \) provided below in the following exercises.

---

**Vector Information:**

- \( |\vec{S}| = 12.8 \, m \)
- \( \vec{S} \cdot \hat{x} = 2 \, m \)
- \( \vec{S} \cdot \hat{y} = 10 \, m \)
- \( \vec{S} \cdot \hat{z} = -8 \, m \)

- \( |\vec{T}| = 10 \, m \)
- \( \vec{T} \cdot \hat{x} = 0 \, m \)
- \( \vec{T} \cdot \hat{y} = -3 \, m \)
- \( \vec{T} \cdot \hat{z} = 0 \, m \)

---

**Chosen Coordinate System Diagram:**

- The coordinate system shows three unit vectors:
  - \( \hat{x} \) is pointing upwards.
  - \( \hat{y} \) is represented by a circle with a dot in the center (indicating out of the page).
  - \( \hat{z} \) is pointing to the right.

---

**Exercises:**

a) *Draw the direction of the missing Cartesian unit vector \( \hat{z} \).*

b) *Write the expression for the vector component of \( \vec{S} \) in the \( \hat{z} \) direction.*

c) *Determine the smallest angle between \( \vec{S} \) and \( \hat{z} \), when they are drawn tail to tail.*

d) *Express \( \vec{S} \) and \( \vec{T} \) in component form, using the chosen coordinate system.*

e) *Determine \( \vec{S} \cdot \vec{T} \) (the dot product).*
