For \(a, b \in \mathbb{Z}\) and \(|a - b| \leq 10\), let the angle between the plane \(P: ax + y - z = b\) and the line \(L: x - 1 = a - y = z + 1\) be \(\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\). If the distance of the point \((6, -6, 4)\) from the plane \(P\) is \(3\sqrt{6}\), then \(a^4 + b^2\) is equal to:
Let P₁ be the plane 3x-y-7z = 11 and P₂ be the plane passing through the points (2,-1,0), (2,0,-1), and (5,1,1). If the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point (7,4,-1) on the line of intersection of the planes P₁ and P₂ is (α, β, γ), then a + ẞ+ y is equal to
In the given figure, the blocks $A$, $B$ and $C$ weigh $4\,\text{kg}$, $6\,\text{kg}$ and $8\,\text{kg}$ respectively. The coefficient of sliding friction between any two surfaces is $0.5$. The force $\vec{F}$ required to slide the block $C$ with constant speed is ___ N.
(Given: $g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}$) 
Two circular discs of radius \(10\) cm each are joined at their centres by a rod, as shown in the figure. The length of the rod is \(30\) cm and its mass is \(600\) g. The mass of each disc is also \(600\) g. If the applied torque between the two discs is \(43\times10^{-7}\) dyne·cm, then the angular acceleration of the system about the given axis \(AB\) is ________ rad s\(^{-2}\).

The shortest perpendicular distance from the point to the given plane is the distance between point and plane. In simple terms, the shortest distance from a point to a plane is the length of the perpendicular parallel to the normal vector dropped from the particular point to the particular plane. Let's see the formula for the distance between point and plane.
