The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \(\overset{\rarr}{A}\) such that when it is added to the resultant of the two given vectors, it yields a unit vector along the y-axis. Let's break down the solution step by step: ### Step 1: Find the resultant of the two given vectors The two vectors given are: 1. \(\overset{\rarr}{V_1} = 2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}\) 2. \(\overset{\rarr}{V_2} = \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}\) To find the resultant vector \(\overset{\rarr}{R}\), we add these two vectors: \[ \overset{\rarr}{R} = \overset{\rarr}{V_1} + \overset{\rarr}{V_2} \] Calculating the components: - For \(\hat{i}\): \(2 + 1 = 3\) - For \(\hat{j}\): \(-3 + 5 = 2\) - For \(\hat{k}\): \(4 + 2 = 6\) Thus, the resultant vector is: \[ \overset{\rarr}{R} = 3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation with vector \(\overset{\rarr}{A}\) Let \(\overset{\rarr}{A} = a \hat{i} + b \hat{j} + c \hat{k}\). According to the problem, when \(\overset{\rarr}{A}\) is added to \(\overset{\rarr}{R}\), the result should be a unit vector along the y-axis. A unit vector along the y-axis can be represented as: \[ \overset{\rarr}{U} = 0 \hat{i} + 1 \hat{j} + 0 \hat{k} \] So we have: \[ \overset{\rarr}{R} + \overset{\rarr}{A} = \overset{\rarr}{U} \] Substituting the expressions: \[ (3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k}) + (a \hat{i} + b \hat{j} + c \hat{k}) = 0 \hat{i} + 1 \hat{j} + 0 \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Equate the components Now we equate the components from both sides: 1. For \(\hat{i}\): \(3 + a = 0\) 2. For \(\hat{j}\): \(2 + b = 1\) 3. For \(\hat{k}\): \(6 + c = 0\) ### Step 4: Solve for \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) From the equations we get: 1. \(a = -3\) 2. \(b = 1 - 2 = -1\) 3. \(c = -6\) ### Step 5: Write the vector \(\overset{\rarr}{A}\) Now substituting the values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) back into the expression for \(\overset{\rarr}{A}\): \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = -3 \hat{i} - 1 \hat{j} - 6 \hat{k} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the vector \(\overset{\rarr}{A}\) is: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = -3 \hat{i} - 1 \hat{j} - 6 \hat{k} \] ---
