Question

The unit vector normal to the plane x + 2y +3z – 6 = 0 is `1/sqrt(14)hati + 2/sqrt(14)hatj + 3/sqrt(14)hatk`.

Options

  • True

  • False

MCQ
True or False
Advertisements

Solution

This statement is True.

Explanation:

We have, `vecn = hati + 2hatj + 3hatk`

∴ `hatn = (hati + 2hatj + 3hatk)/sqrt(1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2)`

= `hati/sqrt(14) + (2hatj)/sqrt(14) + (3hatk)/sqrt(14)`
