Let two non-collinear unit vectors $$\widehat a$$ and $$\widehat b$$ form an acute angle. A point $$P$$ moves so that at any time $$t$$ the position vector $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$ (where $$O$$ is the origin) is given by $$\widehat a\cos t + \widehat b\sin t.$$ When $$P$$ is farthest from origin $$O,$$ let $$M$$ be the length of $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$ and $$\widehat u$$ be the unit vector along $$\overrightarrow {OP} $$. Then :
