If the projection of \(2 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}\) on \(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\alpha \hat{k}\) is zero. Then, the value of \(\alpha\) will be.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\overrightarrow{ a } \cdot \overrightarrow{ b }=0\)
\(\therefore \overrightarrow{ a } \cdot \overrightarrow{ b }=0\)
\(\therefore 2 \times 1+4 \times 2-2 \times \alpha=0\)
\(\therefore \alpha=5\)
