The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) that, when added to the resultant of the two given vectors, results in a unit vector along the y-axis. Let's break this down 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 component-wise: \[ \overset{\rarr}{R} = \overset{\rarr}{V_1} + \overset{\rarr}{V_2} \] Calculating each component: - The x-component: \( 2 + 1 = 3 \) - The y-component: \( -3 + 5 = 2 \) - The z-component: \( 4 + 2 = 6 \) So, the resultant vector is: \[ \overset{\rarr}{R} = 3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the unit vector along the y-axis We know that when \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) is added to \( \overset{\rarr}{R} \), it yields a unit vector along the y-axis, which is represented as \( \hat{j} \). Thus, we can write the equation: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} + \overset{\rarr}{R} = \hat{j} \] Substituting \( \overset{\rarr}{R} \): \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} + (3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k}) = \hat{j} \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) Rearranging the equation to isolate \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \): \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = \hat{j} - (3 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k}) \] Distributing the negative sign: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = \hat{j} - 3 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} - 6 \hat{k} \] Combining like terms: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = -3 \hat{i} + (1 - 2) \hat{j} - 6 \hat{k} \] This simplifies to: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = -3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} - 6 \hat{k} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the vector \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) is: \[ \overset{\rarr}{A} = -3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} - 6 \hat{k} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \( \overset{\rarr}{A} \) that, when added to the resultant of the two given vectors, results in a unit vector along the y-axis. Let's break this down 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. \( \overset{\rarr}{V_2} = \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k} \) ...
