Answers (1)

Answer\frac{8}{\sqrt{30}}\left ( 5\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k} \right )

Hint: You must know the rules of vector functions

Given: Write a vector in direction of 5\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k} having magnitude 8 units

Solution: Let \vec{a}= 5\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2\hat{k}

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{(5)^{2}+(-1)^{2}+(2)^{2}}\\ &=\sqrt{25+1+4}\\ &=\sqrt{30} \end{aligned}

Position vector in the direction of vector is,

\begin{aligned} &=8 \times \frac{\vec{a}}{|\vec{a}|} \\ &=\frac{8}{\sqrt{30}}(5 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}) \end{aligned}
