The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the vector \(\vec{a}\) that is coplanar with the vectors \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j}\), perpendicular to the vector \(\vec{b} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\), and has the same magnitude as \(\vec{b}\). ### Step 1: Define the vector \(\vec{a}\) Since \(\vec{a}\) is coplanar with \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j}\), we can express it as: \[ \vec{a} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} \] This means that \(z = 0\). ### Step 2: Find the condition for coplanarity The condition for coplanarity of vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\hat{i}\), and \(\hat{j}\) can be expressed using the scalar triple product: \[ \vec{a} \cdot (\hat{i} \times \hat{j}) = 0 \] Calculating \(\hat{i} \times \hat{j}\) gives us \(\hat{k}\). Thus: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \hat{k} = 0 \] Since \(\vec{a}\) has no \(\hat{k}\) component, this condition is satisfied. ### Step 3: Find the perpendicularity condition Since \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{b}\), we have: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \] Calculating the dot product: \[ (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \cdot (4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x - 3y + 0 = 0 \] From this, we can express \(x\) in terms of \(y\): \[ 4x = 3y \implies x = \frac{3}{4}y \] ### Step 4: Find the magnitudes Next, we need to ensure that the magnitudes of \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are equal. The magnitude of \(\vec{b}\) is: \[ |\vec{b}| = \sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9 + 25} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2} \] The magnitude of \(\vec{a}\) is: \[ |\vec{a}| = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(x\) in terms of \(y\) Substituting \(x = \frac{3}{4}y\) into the magnitude equation: \[ |\vec{a}| = \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{4}y\right)^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{16}y^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{16}y^2 + \frac{16}{16}y^2} = \sqrt{\frac{25}{16}y^2} = \frac{5}{4}|y| \] Setting this equal to the magnitude of \(\vec{b}\): \[ \frac{5}{4}|y| = 5\sqrt{2} \] Solving for \(|y|\): \[ |y| = 4\sqrt{2} \] ### Step 6: Find \(y\) and \(x\) Thus, \(y = \pm 4\sqrt{2}\). Now substituting back to find \(x\): \[ x = \frac{3}{4}y = \frac{3}{4}(4\sqrt{2}) = 3\sqrt{2} \] So we have: \[ x = \pm 3\sqrt{2}, \quad y = \pm 4\sqrt{2}, \quad z = 0 \] ### Step 7: Write the final vector \(\vec{a}\) The vector \(\vec{a}\) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{a} = 3\sqrt{2}\hat{i} + 4\sqrt{2}\hat{j} \quad \text{or} \quad \vec{a} = -3\sqrt{2}\hat{i} - 4\sqrt{2}\hat{j} \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \vec{a} = \pm \sqrt{2}(3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j}) \]

To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the vector \(\vec{a}\) that is coplanar with the vectors \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j}\), perpendicular to the vector \(\vec{b} = 4\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\), and has the same magnitude as \(\vec{b}\). ### Step 1: Define the vector \(\vec{a}\) Since \(\vec{a}\) is coplanar with \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j}\), we can express it as: \[ \vec{a} = x\hat{i} + y\hat{j} + 0\hat{k} \] This means that \(z = 0\). ...
