hi why we use sin in vector product why not we use cosine?

that's the way it is defined...
the rule is AXB=lAllBlsin(theta) where theta is the angle between the two vectors . this is the definition of cross product it's unlike the dot product the dot product is just like the cross but replace the sine theta with cosine A.B=lAl.lBlcos(theta)
your question is good but it's not sufficient to answer it in a single comment you need to read books and deeply understand the physical meaning of cross product to understand the issue
actually when we talk about cosine it is the projection of one vector on the other like in this picture
|dw:1346219430963:dw| further in vector product it is nothing like projections
