If a is a unit vector such that a i = j , find a . i . - Vidyadip

Question

If $\vec{\text{a}}$ is a unit vector such that $\vec{\text{a}}\times\hat{\text{i}}=\hat{\text{j}},$ find $\vec{\text{a}}.\hat{\text{i}}.$

✓

Answer

We know
$\hat{\text{k}}\times\hat{\text{i}}=\hat{\text{j}}\dots(1)$
Given: $\vec{\text{a}}\times\hat{\text{i}}=\hat{\text{j}}\dots(2)$
Comparing (1) and (2), we get
$\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{k}}$
Now,
$\vec{\text{a}}.\hat{\text{i}}=\hat{\text{k}}.\hat{\text{i}}$
$=0$
