If the scalar projection of vector x ...

If the scalar projection of vector `x hat i- hat j+ hat k` on vector `2 hat i- hat j+5 hat ki s1/(sqrt(30))` , then find the value of `xdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Projection of `xhati-hatj+hatk "on" 2hati-hatj+5hatk= ((xhati-hatj+hatk).(2hati-hatj+5hatk))/(sqrt(4+1+25))`
`(2x+1+5)/(sqrt10)`
But, given `(2x+6)/(sqrt30)=1/sqrt30 Rightarrow 2x+6=1 or x=(-5)/2`
