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