In this paper, we give an explicit representation of the Sasaki metric on a vector bundle. In particular, we get Sasaki metric on unit tangent bundle T1S2n+1, by which we calculate the volume of the Hopf vector field Vh. From Gysin sequence, we get the cohomology of T1S2n+1. By Euler characteristic, we define a calibration on T1S2n+1 and show that the submanifold L2n+1 is an integral submanifold of the calibration. We also show that Hopf vector field Vh is the integral submanifold only when n is equal to one. With a Sasaki metric defined by Hopf vector field, we show that the Hopf vector field has minimum volume on S2n+1 for all n.
