find the projection of 3hat i - hat j ...

find the projection of `3hat i - hat j + 4hat k`
on `2 hat i + 3 hat j -6 hat k`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

we have , `vecb'xxvecc'=((veccxxveca)xx(vecaxxvecb))/([vecavecbvecc]^(2))`
`({(veccxxveca).vecb}veca-{(veccxxveca).veca}vecb)/([vecavecbvecc]^(2))=([vecc vecavecb]veca-[veccvecaveca]vecb)/([veca vecbvecc]^(2))=([vecavecb vecc]veca-0)/([vecavecbvecc]^(2))=(veca)/([veca vecb vecc])`
`[veca'vecb'vecc']=veca'(vecb'xxvecc')=(vecbxxvecc)/([vecavecbvecc]).veca/([vecavecbvecc]^(2))=([veca vecbvecc])/([veca vecbvecc]^(2))=1/([vecavecbvecc])`
`(vecb'xxvecc')/([veca'vecb'vecc'])=veca`
`vecb=(vecc'xxveca')/([veca'vecb'vecc']),vecc=(veca'xxvecb')/([veca'vecb'vecc'])`
