Question
Find a unit vector in the direction of $\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$.
✓
Answer
Given:
$\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$
$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2+6^2}$
$=\sqrt{4+9+36}$
$=\sqrt{49}$
$=7$
Unit vector $=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|}=\frac{2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}}{7}$
$=\frac{2}7\hat{\text{i}}-\frac{3}7\hat{\text{j}}+\frac{6}7\hat{\text{k}}$
$\vec{\text{a}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$
$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2+6^2}$
$=\sqrt{4+9+36}$
$=\sqrt{49}$
$=7$
Unit vector $=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|}=\frac{2\hat{\text{i}}-3\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}}{7}$
$=\frac{2}7\hat{\text{i}}-\frac{3}7\hat{\text{j}}+\frac{6}7\hat{\text{k}}$
