प्रश्न

Find a unit vector parallel to the vector \[\hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j}\]

Advertisements

उत्तर

Let \[\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j}\] 
Then,
\[\left| \vec{a} \right| = \sqrt{1^2 + (\sqrt{3} )^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = \sqrt{4} = 2\]
Unit vector parallel to 
\[\vec{a}\] = \[\hat{a} = \frac{\vec{a}}{\left| \vec{a} \right|} = \frac{1}{2}\left( \hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \hat{i} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \hat{j}\]
