JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 3.1 vectors
What will be the projection of vector \(A=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\) on vector \(\vec{B}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}\).
- A \(\sqrt{2}(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\)
- B \((\hat{i}+\hat{j})\)
- C \(\sqrt{2}(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\)
- D \(2(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \((\hat{i}+\hat{j})\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Projection of vector \(A\) on vector \(B\) \((A \cos \theta) \hat{B}=A\left(\frac{\bar{A} \cdot \bar{B}}{A B}\right) \hat{B}=\frac{\bar{A} \cdot \bar{B}}{B} \hat{B}\) \(=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{\hat{i}+\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=\hat{i}+\hat{j}\)

- Two masses \(m\) and \(\frac{m}{2}\) are connected at the two ends of a massless rigid rod of length \(l\). The rod is suspended by a thin wire of torsional constant \(k\) at the centre of mass of the rodmass system (see figure). Because of torsional constant \(k\), the restoring torque is \(\tau = k\,\theta \) for angular displacement \(\theta \). If the rod is rotated by \(\theta _0\) and released, the tension in it when it passes through its mean position will be
