Question
Write the unit vector in the direction of $\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$.
✓

Answer

We have,$\vec{\text{a}}=3\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}$
$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{3^2+(-2)^2+6^2}$ $=\sqrt{9+4+36}$ $=\sqrt{49}$ $=7$ $\therefore$ Unit vector in the direction of $\vec{\text{a}}=\hat{\text{a}}=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|}=\frac{1}7\big(3\hat{\text{i}}-2\hat{\text{j}}+6\hat{\text{k}}\big)=\frac{3}7\hat{\text{i}}-\frac{2}7\hat{\text{j}}+\frac{6}7\hat{\text{k}}$
