Find the components along the coordinate axes of the position vector of each of the following points: `P(3,2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Point `P=(3,2)`

Position vector `\rightarrowOP=3 \hati+2 \hatj`

component along `x`-axis `=(\{O P} \cdot \hat{i}) \hat{i}` `=3 \hat{i}`

Component along `y`-axis `=(\{O P} \cdot \hat{j}) \hat{j}` `=2 \hat{\j}`
