Find the value of λ when the projection of on is 4 units.



projection of a on b is given by:


|| = (22 + 62 + 32)1/2


|| = (4 + 36 + 9)1/2 = (49)1/2 = 7


a unit vector in the direction of the sum of the vectors is given by:



Now it is given that:



2 λ + 6 + (3×4) = 28


λ = (28 - 12 - 6)/2


λ = 10/2 = 5


Ans: λ = 5
