CHAPTER 1


1.1. Given the vectors M = −10ax + 4ay − 8az and N = 8ax + 7ay − 2az, find:
a) a unit vector in the direction of −M + 2N.

−M + 2N = 10ax − 4ay + 8az + 16ax + 14ay − 4az = (26, 10, 4)

Thus

a = (26, 10, 4) = (0.92, 0.36, 0.14)

|(26, 10, 4)|



b) the magnitude of 5ax + N − 3M:

(5, 0, 0) + (8, 7, −2) − (−30, 12, −24) = (43, −5, 22), and |(43, −5, 22)| =
48.6.

c) |M||2N|(M + N):

|(−10, 4, −8)||(16, 14, −4)|(−2, 11, −10) = (13.4)(21.6)(−2, 11, −10)

= (−580.5, 3193, −2902)

1.2. Vector A extends from the origin to (1,2,3) and vector B from the origin to
(2,3,-2).

a) Find the unit vector in the direction of (A − B): First

A − B = (ax + 2ay + 3az) − (2ax + 3ay − 2az) = (−ax − ay + 5az)

w√hose magnitude is |A − B| = [(−ax − ay + 5az ) · (−ax − ay + 5az )]1/2

= 1 + 1 + 25 =
3 3 = 5.20. The unit vector is therefore

aAB = (−ax − ay + 5az)/5.20


b) find the unit vector in the direction of the line extending from the origin to
the midpoint of the line joining the ends of A and B:

The midpoint is located at

Pmp = [1 + (2 − 1)/2, 2 + (3 − 2)/2, 3 + (−2 − 3)/2)] = (1.5, 2.5,
0.5)

The unit vector is then

a = (1.5ax + 2.5ay + 0.5az)
+ + )/2.96
= (1.5a
2.5a 0.5a

1.3. The vector from the origin to the point A is— given
− as (6, 2, 4), and the unit

vector directed from the origin toward point B is (2, 2, 1)/3. If points A and B
are ten units apart, find the coordinates of point B.

With A = (6, −2, −4) and B = 1 B(2, −2, 1), we use the fact that |B − A| = 10, or

|(6− 3 B)a−x (2− 3 B)a−y (4 + 3 B)a

Expanding, obtain

or B2 − 8B − 44 = 0. Thus B = 8± 64−176
2 = 11.75 (taking positive option) and so

Determine √the unit

vector in rectangular components that lies in the xy plane, is tangent− to the
circle at ( 3, 1,

A unit vector tangent to this circle in the general increasing y direction is
t = −aφ . Its√x and

y components are tx = −aφ · ax = sin φ, and t√y = −aφ · ay = − cos φ. φ

1.5. A vector field is specified as G = 24xyax + 12(x2 + 2)ay + 18z2az. Given two
points, P (1, 2, −1) and Q(−2, 1, 3), find:
a) G at P : G(1, 2, −1) = (48, 36, 18)

b) a unit vector in the direction of G at Q: G(−2, 1, 3) = (−48, 72, 162), so

(−48, 72, 162)
a =G = ( —0 .26, 0. 39

100 = 16x2y2 + 4x4 + 16x2 + 16 + 9z4
