Compute the magnitude of the following vectors:
$\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} ; \quad \vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} ; \quad \vec{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \hat{i}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \hat{k}$

(N/A) The magnitude of a vector $\vec{v} = p\hat{i} + q\hat{j} + r\hat{k}$ is given by the formula $|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{p^2 + q^2 + r^2}$.
For vector $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$:
$|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (1)^2 + (1)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{3}$.
For vector $\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} - 7\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$:
$|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-7)^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 49 + 9} = \sqrt{62}$.
For vector $\vec{c} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\hat{i} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\hat{j} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\hat{k}$:
$|\vec{c}| = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 + \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}} = \sqrt{1} = 1$.
