Question

If $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}},$ find the unit vector in the direction of:

$6\vec{\text{b}}$
$2\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}$

✓

Answer

Here, $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}=2\vec{\text{i}}+\vec{\text{j}}-2\vec{\text{k}}$

$6\vec{\text{b}}=12\hat{\text{i}}+6\hat{\text{j}}-12\hat{\text{k}}$

$\therefore$ Unit vectors in the direction of $6\vec{\text{b}}=\frac{6\vec{\text{b}}}{|6\vec{\text{b}}|}$

$=\frac{12\hat{\text{i}}+6\hat{\text{j}}-12\hat{\text{k}}}{\sqrt{12^2+6^2+12^2}}$

$=\frac{6(12\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}})}{\sqrt{324}}$

$=\frac{6(2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}})}{18}$

$=\frac{2\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}-2\hat{\text{k}}}{3}$

$2\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}=2(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}})$

$=\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$

$\therefore$ Unit vectors in the direction of $2\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}$

$=\frac{2\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}}{|2\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}|}=\frac{\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}}{\sqrt{1^2+6^2}}$

$=\frac{\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}}{\sqrt{37}}$

A manufacturer can produce two products, A and B, during a given time period. Each of these products requires four different manufacturing operations: grinding, turning, assembling and testing. The manufacturing requirements in hours per unit of products A and B are given below.

	A	B
Grinding	1	2
Turning	3	1
Assembling	6	3
Testing	5	4

The available capacities of these operations in hours for the given time period are: grinding 30; turning 60, assembling 200; testing 200. The contribution to profit is Rs 20 for each unit of A and Rs 30 for each unit of B. The firm can sell all that it produces at the prevailing market price. Determine the optimum amount of A and B to produce during the given time period. Formulate this as a LPP.
