Write a unit vector in the direction of ...

Write a unit vector in the direction of the sum of the vectors ` vec a=2 hat i+2 hat j-5 hat k` and `vec b=2 hat i+ hat j-7 hat k`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let, `vec r` be the sum of vectors

`vec r= vec a+ vec b`

`vec r= 2 hat i+2 hat j-5 hat k+ 2 hat i+ hat j-7 hat k`

`vec r= 4 hat i+3hat j-12hat k`

`hat r = (vec r)/(|r|)`

`hat r= (4 hat i+3hat j-12hat k)/(sqrt(16+9+144))`

`hat r= (4 hat i+3hat j-12hat k)/(sqrt(169))`

`hat r= (4 hat i+3hat j-12hat k)/(13)`
