Find a vector in the direction of vec a...

Find a vector in the direction of ` vec a=2 hat i- hat j+2 hat k ,` which has magnitude of 6 units.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A unit vector in the direction of ` vec a=2 hat i- hat j+2 hat k` is,
`vec r=veca /|vec a|`
`={2 hat i- hat j+2 hat k}/sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+2^2}`
`={2 hat i- hat j+2 hat k}/3`
A vector in the direction of ` vec a=2 hat i- hat j+2 hat k ` which has magnitude of 6 units, is
`=6vecr`
`=6xx{2 hat i- hat j+2 hat k}/3`
