Question 92 Marks

Find the length of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane $2x − 3y + 6z + 21 = 0.$

Answer

We know that the distance of the point $(x_1, y_1, z_1)$

Question 102 Marks

Write the distance of the plane $\vec{\text{r}}.(2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}})=12$ form the origin.

Answer

The given equation of the plane is
$\vec{\text{r}}.(2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}})=12$ or $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{n}}=-6$, where $\vec{\text{n}}=2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}$
$|\vec{\text{n}}|=\sqrt{4+1+4}=3$
For reducing the given equation to normal form, we need to divide both sides by $|\vec{\text{n}}|$.
Then, we get $\vec{\text{r}}.\frac{\vec{\text{n}}}{|\vec{\text{n}}|}=\frac{12}{|\vec{\text{n}}|}$
$=\vec{\text{r}}.\Big(\frac{2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+2\hat{\text{k}}}{3}\Big)=\frac{12}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}.\Big(\frac{2}{3}\hat{\text{i}}+\frac{1}{3}\hat{\text{j}}-\frac{2}{3}\hat{\text{k}}\Big)=4,\ ...(1)$
The eqution of the plane normal from is.
$\vec{\text{r}}.\text{n}=\text{d}\ ....(2)$
(where d is the distance of the plane from the origin)
Comparing (1) and (2),
Length of the perpendicular from the origin to the plane = d = 4 units.

Answer

The given equation of the plane is
$\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}+\lambda\vec{\text{b}}\ ....(1)$
Given equation of the plane is
$\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{n}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\big(\vec{\text{a}}+\lambda\vec{\text{b}}\big)\vec{\text{n}}=0$ [ From (1) ]
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{n}}+\lambda\vec{\text{b}}.\vec{\text{n}}=0$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=-\Big(\frac{\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{n}}}{\vec{\text{b}}.\vec{\text{n}}}\Big)$
Substituting this in (1), we get
$\vec{\text{r}}=\vec{\text{a}}-\Big(\frac{\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{n}}}{\vec{\text{b}}.\vec{\text{n}}}\Big)\vec{\text{b}},$ which is the required position vector that lies both on the line and the plane.

Question 142 Marks

Answer each of the following questions in one word or one sentence or as per exact requirement of the quetion:
Find the vector equation of the plane, passing through the point (a, b, c) and parallel to the plane $\vec{\text{r}}.(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})=2.$

Answer

The required plane passes through $\text{a}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}\hat{\text{j}}+\text{c}\hat{\text{k}}$ and is parallel to the plane $\vec{\text{r}}.(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})=2.$
So, it is normal to the vector $\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}$ which is normal to the given plane.
Hence, the vector equation of the required plane is
$\big[\vec{\text{r}}-\big(\text{a}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}\hat{\text{j}}+\text{c}\hat{\text{k}}\big).(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})=0\big]\ \big[\big(\vec{\text{r}}-\vec{\text{a}}\big).\vec{\text{n}}=0\big]$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}.(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})=\big(\text{a}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{b}\hat{\text{j}}+\text{c}\hat{\text{k}}\big).(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}.(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})=\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}$
Thus, the vector equation of the required plane is $\vec{\text{r}}.(\hat{\text{i}}+\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}})=\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c}.$

$\vec{\text{r}}\cdot\big(4\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}\big)=\big(2\hat{\text{i}}-\hat{\text{j}}+\hat{\text{k}}\big)\cdot\big(4\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}\big)$
$\Rightarrow\vec{\text{r}}\cdot\big(4\hat{\text{i}}+2\hat{\text{j}}-3\hat{\text{k}}\big)=8-2-3$
