Find a vector of magnitude 5 units, and parallel to the resultant of the vectors a = 2î + 3ĵ − k̂ and b = î − 2ĵ + k̂.
Find a vector of magnitude 5 units, and parallel to the resultant of the vectors a = 2î + 3ĵ − k̂ and b = î − 2ĵ + k̂.
- A. (15î + 5ĵ)/√10
- B. 15î + 5ĵ
- C. (3î + ĵ)/√10
- D. 5(3î + ĵ)
Answer: A) (15î + 5ĵ)/√10
Explanation: Resultant R = a + b = 3î + ĵ + 0k̂. Magnitude |R| = √(9 + 1) = √10. Unit vector = (3î + ĵ)/√10. Vector of magnitude 5 = 5 × (3î + ĵ)/√10 = (15î + 5ĵ)/√10.
