Vector Analysis
1. Scalar and Vector Herts
1.1 Prove that the vectors ???? =?? ?? +?? -?? ?? ,????
=-?? +?? ?? +?? ?? ,??? =?? ?? -?? ?? -?? ?? can
form the sides of a triangle. Find the lengths of the medians of the triangle.
(2016 : 10 Marks)
Solution:
Here, we find that
???
+?? =(-?? +3?? +4?? )+(4?? -2?? -6?? )
=3?? +?? -2?? =??
??.?? ., ???
+?? =??
And also we notice that these three vectors are not collinear (components are not
proportional). Hence, these form the sides ofa triangle. Let ???? ,???? and ???? be medians.
