A vector $\displaystyle \vec{\mathrm{a}}$ of magnitude $\displaystyle 14$ has direction ratios $\displaystyle <2,3,-6>$. Find the projection of the vector $\displaystyle \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$ on $\displaystyle \hat{\mathrm{i}}$.
Marking-scheme solution
Getting $\displaystyle \vec{\mathrm{a}} = 4\hat{\imath} + 6\hat{\jmath} - 12\hat{k}$
Projection of $\displaystyle \vec{\mathrm{a}}$ on $\displaystyle \hat{\imath} = \vec{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \hat{\imath} = 4$
