Consider given the given vectors,→a=2ˆi+3ˆj+2ˆk and →b=ˆi+2ˆj+ˆk
Now, projection of →a on →b =→a.→b∣∣∣→b∣∣∣=(2ˆi+3ˆj+2ˆk).(ˆi+2ˆj+ˆk)∣∣ˆi+2ˆj+ˆk∣∣
=(2ˆi+3ˆj+2ˆk).(ˆi+2ˆj+ˆk)∣∣ˆi+2ˆj+ˆk∣∣=2.1+3.2+2.1√12+22+12
=10√6
Projection of →b on →a,
=(ˆi+2ˆj+ˆk).(2ˆi+3ˆj+2ˆk)∣∣2ˆi+3ˆj+2ˆk∣∣=1.2+2.3+1.2√22+32+22=10√17
