Resolved part of vector veca and along v...

Resolved part of vector `veca` and along vector `vecb " is " veca_1` and that prependicular to `vecb " is " veca_2` then `veca_1 xx veca_2` is equl to

A

`((vecaxxvecb).vecb)/(|vecb|^(2))`

B

`((veca.vecb)veca)/(|veca|^(2))`

C

`((veca.vecb)(vecbxxveca))/(|vecb|^(2))`

D

`((veca.vecb)(vecbxxveca))/(|vecbxxveca|)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

`veca_(1) = (veca.hatb) hatb = (( veca.vecb)vecb)/(|vecb|^(2))`
` Rightarrow veca_(2) = veca -veca_(1) = veca - ((veca. Vecb)vecb)/(|vecb|^(2))`
Thus ` veca_(1) xx veca_(2) = ((veca.vecb)vecb)/(|vecb|^(2) xx )(veca - ((veca.vecb)vecb)/(|vecb|^(2)))`
` ((veca. vecb)(vecb xx veca))/(|vecb|^(2))`
