Find the projection of the vector a = 2î + 3ĵ + 2k̂ on the vector b = î + 2ĵ + 1k̂.
Find the projection of the vector a = 2î + 3ĵ + 2k̂ on the vector b = î + 2ĵ + 1k̂.
- A. 10/√6
- B. 5/√6
- C. 10/6
- D. 5/6
Answer: A) 10/√6
Explanation: Projection of a on b = (a.b) / |b|. a.b = (2)(1) + (3)(2) + (2)(1) = 2 + 6 + 2 = 10. |b| = √(1² + 2² + 1²) = √6. Projection = 10/√6.
