Question

Let a three-dimensional vector V satisfy the condition 2V+V×(^i+2^j)=2^i+^k. If 3|V|=m, then the value of m is

Solution

2V+V×(^i+2^j)=2^i+^k
2V(^i+2^j)+0=(2^i+^k)(^i+2^j)
2V(^i+2^j)=2
|V(^i+2^j)|2=1
|V|2|^i+2^j|2cos2θ=1
θ is the angle between V and ^i+2^j
|V|2 5(1sin2θ)=1
|V|2 5sin2θ=5|V|21 (ii)
From eq (i), we have
|2V+V×(^i+2^j)|2=|2^i+^k|2
4|V|2+|V×(^i+2^j)|2=5
4|V|2+|V|2|^i+2^j|2sin2θ=5
4|V|2+5|V|2sin2θ=5
4|V|2+5|V|21=5
9|V|2=6
3|V|=6=m
m=6
