A line segment of length 15 units lies on a line with direction ratios 2, −1, 2. Find the projections of this segment on the coordinate axes.
A line segment of length 15 units lies on a line with direction ratios 2, −1, 2. Find the projections of this segment on the coordinate axes.
- A. 10, −5, 10
- B. 2, −1, 2
- C. 5, −5/2, 5
- D. 10, 5, 10
Answer: A) 10, −5, 10
Explanation: Magnitude of DRs = √(4+1+4) = 3. DCs are 2/3, −1/3, 2/3. Projections of a segment of length L are Ll, Lm, Ln. 15(2/3) = 10, 15*(−1/3) = −5, 15*(2/3) = 10.
