Vector Basics, Unit Vectors & Components

If a unit vector is represented by 0.5i^+0.8j^+ck^0.5\hat{i} + 0.8\hat{j} + c\hat{k}, the value of cc is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. For a unit vector the sum of squares of components is 1.
  2. 0.25+0.64+c2=1⇒c2=0.110.25 + 0.64 + c^2 = 1 \Rightarrow c^2 = 0.11
  3. So the answer is (b) 0.11\sqrt{0.11}.
