Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let $\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$.The projection vector of $\vec{a}$ on $\vec{b}$ is given by the formula: $\left( \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} ight) \vec{b}$.First,calculate the dot product: $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (1)(3) + (-2)(-2) + (3)(1) = 3 + 4 + 3 = 10$.Next,calculate the magnitude squared of $\vec{b}$: $|\vec{b}|^2 = 3^2 + (-2)^2 + 1^2 = 9 + 4 + 1 = 14$.Now,substitute these values into the formula: $	ext{Projection vector} = \frac{10}{14} (3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) = \frac{5}{7} (3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) = \frac{15}{7}\hat{i} - \frac{10}{7}\hat{j} + \frac{5}{7}\hat{k}$.Thus,the correct option is $C$.

The projection vector of $\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ on $\vec{b} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ is . . . . . . .

If for vectors $\vec{a}, \vec{b},$ and $\vec{c}$,$\vec{a} + \vec{b} + \vec{c} = \vec{0}$ and $|\vec{a}| = 7, |\vec{b}| = 5, |\vec{c}| = 3$,then the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is ............ $^o$.

Vectors $a, b, c$ are inclined to each other at an angle of $60^\circ$. If $|a| = 2, |b| = 2$,and $|c| = 2$,then calculate the value of $(2a + 3b - 5c) \cdot (4a - 6b + 10c)$.
