Let $\vec{A}=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{B}=4 \hat{i}+j+2 \hat{k}$ then $|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}|$ is equal to ...................
A
$440$
B
$2 \sqrt{110}$
C
$\sqrt{220}$
D
$4 \sqrt{65}$
Solution
(b)
$\vec{A}=2 \hat{\imath}-3 \hat{\jmath}+4 \hat{k}$
$\vec{B}=4 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}$
$|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}|=$ ?
$|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}|=? \quad\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\imath} & \hat{\jmath} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & -3 & 4 \\ 4 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right|$
$=\hat{\imath}(-6-4)-\hat{\jmath}(4-16)+k(2+12)$
$=-10 \hat{\imath}+12 \hat{\jmath}+14 \hat{k}$
$|\vec{A} \times \vec{B}|=\sqrt{(-10)^2+(12)^2+(14)^2}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{100+144+196}{\sqrt{440}}}$
$=\sqrt{440}=2 \sqrt{110}$
