Unit vector parallel to the resultant of vectors $\vec A = 4\hat i - 3\hat j$and $\vec B = 8\hat i + 8\hat j$ will be

A

$\frac{{24\hat i + 5\hat j}}{{13}}$

B

$\frac{{12\hat i + 5\hat j}}{{13}}$

C

$\frac{{6\hat i + 5\hat j}}{{13}}$

D

None of these

Solution

(b) Resultant of vectors $\overrightarrow A $ and $\overrightarrow B $

$\overrightarrow R = \overrightarrow A + \overrightarrow B = 4\hat i – 3\hat j + 8\hat i + 8\hat j$$ = 12\hat i + 5\hat j$

$\hat R = \frac{{\overrightarrow R }}{{|R|}} = \frac{{12\hat i + 5\hat j}}{{\sqrt {{{(12)}^2} + {{(5)}^2}} }}$$ = \frac{{12\hat i + 5\hat j}}{{13}}$
