Question

Find a unit vector perpendicular to the a=i+2jk and b=2i+3j+k.

Open in App
Solution

We know thatunit vector perpendicular to both a and b is diven by ^x=a×b|a×b|a×b=^i^j^k121231
=^i(23)^j(1+2)+^k(34)=5^i3^j^k|a×b|=52+(3)2+(1)2=25+9+1=35
Required unit vector ^x=a×b|a×b|=5^i3^j^k35=535^i335^j135^k
