Question : 5 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Write a vector of magnitude 15 units in the direction of vector i^2j^+2k^
Solution:  
Unit vector along the direction of vector a , a = a|a|
Let a = i^2j^+2k^
|a| = (1)2+(2)2+(2)2 = ± 3
i.e. a^ = 13(i^2j^+2k^)
So, the vector whose magnitude is 15 and has direction along the vector i^2j^+2k^ is given by,
15 × (13)(i^2j^+2k^)
= 5 (i^2j^+2k^)
= (5i^10j^+10k^)
So the required vector is (5i^10j^+10k^)
