The given vector is <html><body>

V = a_i + b_j + c_k

</body></html>

a=0 , b=1 , c=1

also enter image description here

Step 1: Rotation of vector V about X-axis by an angle θ=+ θ1 {+ve indicates CCW}

Now, <html><body>

V₁ = b_j + c_k

</body></html>

enter image description here

Now, the rotational matrix about x-axis is,

enter image description here

On substituting the values of sin θ1 and cosθ1, we get,

enter image description here

Step 2: Rotate vector V1 about Y-axis by an angle of θ=- θ2 So as to consider with z-axis

enter image description here

Now, rotational matrix about y-axis is,

enter image description here

Now, combined transformation, [Av] = [Rx] [Ry]

enter image description here

This is the matrix [Av] which aligns a given vector <html><body>

V = a_i + b_j + c_k

</body></html> with the vector k along positive z-axis
