The projection of the vector \(\vec{a}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}\) on the vector \(\vec{b}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\) is:

  1. A \(\frac{11}{3} \sqrt{6}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{10}{3} \sqrt{6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{5}{3} \sqrt{6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{5}{3} \sqrt{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (2)(1) + (3)(2) + (2)(1) = 10\) \(|\vec{b}| = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{6}\) \(\text{Proj}_{\vec{b}} \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{10\sqrt{6}}{6} = \frac{5}{3} \sqrt{6}\)
