MCQ
$0.4\hat i + 0.8\hat j + c\hat k$ represents a unit vector when $c$ is
  • A
    $-0.2$
  • $\sqrt {0.2} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {0.8} $
  • D
    $0$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\sqrt {0.2} $
b
(b) $\sqrt {{{(0.4)}^2} + {{(0.8)}^2} + {c^2}} = 1$

==> $0.16 + 0.64 + {c^2} = 1$==> $c = \sqrt {0.2} $
