\(\vec{A}=3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}, \vec{B}=6 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k}\). Find a vector paral- lel to \(\vec{A}\) whose magnitude is equal to that of \(\vec{B}\). (A) \(\sqrt{\frac{46}{29}}(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\) (B) \(\sqrt{\frac{46}{29}}(6 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\) (C) \(\sqrt{\frac{29}{46}}(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\) (D) None

Short Answer

Expert verified
The short answer is: \(\vec{C} = \sqrt{\frac{46}{29}}(3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k})\) (Option A).

Step by step solution

01

- Magnitude of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\)

First, let's find the magnitudes of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) using the formula for the magnitude of a vector: Magnitude \(\vec{A}\) = \(\sqrt{{(3)}^2 + {(4)}^2 + {(2)}^2} = \sqrt{29}\) Magnitude \(\vec{B}\) = \(\sqrt{{(6)}^2 + {(-1)}^2 + {(3)}^2} = \sqrt{46}\)
02

- Determine the scalar

Now, let's find the scalar that should be applied to \(\vec{A}\) to create a new vector that is parallel to \(\vec{A}\) and has the same magnitude as \(\vec{B}\). To do this, we can use the following equation: Scalar = \(\frac{\text{Magnitude of }\vec{B}}{\text{Magnitude of } \vec{A}}\) Scalar = \(\frac{\sqrt{46}}{\sqrt{29}}\)
03

- Multiply the scalar by \(\vec{A}\)

We will now multiply \(\vec{A}\) by the scalar to get the desired vector: \(\vec{C} = \frac{\sqrt{46}}{\sqrt{29}}(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k})\)
04

- Compare the result with the options

Let's compare our result of \(\vec{C}\) with the given options: (A) \(\sqrt{\frac{46}{29}}(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\) (B) \(\sqrt{\frac{46}{29}}(6 \hat{i}-\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\) (C) \(\sqrt{\frac{29}{46}}(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})\) Our answer \( \vec{C} = \frac{\sqrt{46}}{\sqrt{29}}(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k})\) matches option (A): So, the correct answer is (A).
