Question
Write a vector in the direction of vector $5\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$ which has magnitude of 8 unit.
✓

Answer

Given:
$\vec{\text{a}}=5\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$
$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{5^2+(-1)^2+2^2}$
$=\sqrt{25+1+4}$
$=\sqrt{30}$
$\therefore$ Position vector in the direction of vector $=8\times\frac{\vec{\text{a}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|}$
$=\frac{8}{\sqrt{30}}\big(5\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
