Find a vector of magnitude 5 units, and parallel to the resultant of the vectors `" "veca=2hati+3hatj-hatk and vecb=hati-2hatj+hatk`. |
|
Answer» We have, `" "veca=2hati+3hatj-hatk and vecb=hati-2hatj+hatk` Let `vecc` be the resultant of `veca and vecb`. Then `" "vecc=veca+vecb=(2+1)hati+(3-2)hatj+(-1+1)hatk` `" "=3hati+hatj` `therefore" "|vecc|=sqrt(3^(2)+1^(2))=sqrt(9+1)=sqrt(10)` `therefore" "hatc=(vecc)/(|vecc|)=((3hati+hatj))/(sqrt(10))` Hence, the vector of magnitude 5 units and parallel to the resultant to vectors `veca and vecb` is `" "pm5*vecc=pm5*(1)/(sqrt(10))(3hati+hatj)` `" "=pm(3sqrt(10)hati)/(2)pm(sqrt(10))/(2) hatj`. |
