Given the vectors M=—I0a, +4a,— 8a, and N= Sas + 7a, ~ 2a,
find: (a) a unit vector in the direction of -M + 2N; (6) the magnitude
of Say +N — 3M; (c) |MI|2N|(M +N).
Given three points, A(4, 3, 2), B(—2, 0, 5), and C(7, ~2, 1): (@) specify the
vector A extending from the origin to point 4; (b) give a unit vector
extending from the origin toward the midpoint of line AB; (¢) calculate
the length of the perimeter of triangle ABC.
The vector from the origin to point A is given as 6ax — 2ay — 4a,, and the
unit vector directed from the origin toward point Bis (3, ~3, 4). If points
A and B are 10 units apart, find the coordinates of point B.
Given points A(8, —5, 4) and B(—2, 3, 2), find: (a) the distance from A to
B; (b) a unit vector directed from A towards B; (c) a unit vector directed
from the origin toward the midpoint of the line AB; (d) the coordinates
of the point on the line connecting 4 to Bat which the line intersects the
plane z = 3.
‘A vector field is specified as G = 24xyay + 12(x? + 2)ay + 18z?a.. Given
two points, P(1, 2, —1) and Q(—2, 1, 3), find: (a) G at P; (6) a unit vector
in the direction of G at Q; (c) a unit vector directed from Q toward P; (d)
the equation of the surface on which |G| = 60.
For the G field given in Prob. 1.5 above, make sketches of G, Gy, G, and
|G| along the line y = 1, z= 1, for0
