If vecA=3hat(i)+4hat(j) and vecB=7hat(i)+24hat(j), find a vector having the same magnitude as vecB and parallel to vecA

Answer»

Solution :The vector parallel to `vecA` and having magnitude of `vecB`
is `vecC=|vecB|(vecA)/(|vecA|) = |vecB|HATA ""B=sqrt(7^(2)+24^(2))=25`
and `hatA=(vecA)/(A)=(3hat(i)+4hat(j))/(sqrt(3^(2)+4^(2)))=(1)/(5)(3hat(i)+4hat(j))`
`vecC=25xx(1)/(5)(3hat(i)+4hat(j)) = 15 hat(i)+20hat(j)`
