Write the number of vectors of unit length perpendicular to both the vectors a = 2i + j + 2k and b = j + k.

Answer»

As we know, for vectors  \(\vec a\) and  \(\vec b\) unit vectors perpendicular to them is give by \(\pm\cfrac{\vec a\times\vec b}{|\vec a\times\vec b|}\) 

Unit vector can be ⊥ either in positive or negative direction.

Hence, the number of vectors of unit length perpendicular to both the vectors  \(\vec a=2\hat i+\hat j+2\hat k\) and  \(\vec b = \hat j+\hat k\)  is 2.
