The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find a vector \( \vec{R} \) such that when it is added to the resultant of vectors \( \vec{P} \) and \( \vec{Q} \), it results in a unit vector along the X-axis, which is represented by \( \hat{i} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the vectors:** - Given \( \vec{P} = 2\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} - 10\hat{k} \) - Given \( \vec{Q} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \) 2. **Calculate the resultant vector \( \vec{R_{PQ}} \):** - \( \vec{R_{PQ}} = \vec{P} + \vec{Q} \) - \( \vec{R_{PQ}} = (2\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} - 10\hat{k}) + (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \) - Combine like terms: \[ \vec{R_{PQ}} = (2 + 1)\hat{i} + (7 + 2)\hat{j} + (-10 + 3)\hat{k} \] \[ \vec{R_{PQ}} = 3\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} - 7\hat{k} \] 3. **Set up the equation:** - We want \( \vec{R} + \vec{R_{PQ}} = \hat{i} \) - Substitute \( \vec{R_{PQ}} \): \[ \vec{R} + (3\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} - 7\hat{k}) = \hat{i} \] 4. **Isolate \( \vec{R} \):** - Rearranging gives: \[ \vec{R} = \hat{i} - (3\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} - 7\hat{k}) \] - Distributing the negative sign: \[ \vec{R} = \hat{i} - 3\hat{i} - 9\hat{j} + 7\hat{k} \] - Combine like terms: \[ \vec{R} = (1 - 3)\hat{i} - 9\hat{j} + 7\hat{k} \] \[ \vec{R} = -2\hat{i} - 9\hat{j} + 7\hat{k} \] 5. **Final Result:** - The required vector \( \vec{R} \) is: \[ \vec{R} = -2\hat{i} - 9\hat{j} + 7\hat{k} \]
