Vectors 1 Question 6

7. Let a=i^+j^+k^,b=i^j^+k^ and c=i^j^k^ be three vectors. A vector v in the plane of a and b, whose projection on c is 13, is given by

(2011)

(a) i^3j^+3k^

(b) 3i^3j^k^

(c) 3i^j^+3k^

(d) i^+3j^3k^

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (c)

Solution:

  1. Let v=a+λb

v=(1+λ)i^+(1λ)j^(1+λ)k^

Projection of v on c=13vc|c|=13

(1+λ)(1λ)(1+λ)3=13

1+λ1+λ1λ=1

λ1=1λ=2

v=3i^j^+3k^
