2 = 8 / 4

8 / 4 - 1 / 4 = 7 / 4

They ate 7/4 lbs, or 1.75 lbs.

$\text { Saclar projection } \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \text { and Vector projection } \frac{1}{3}(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})$

We have been given two vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ , we are to find out the scalar and vector projection of $\vec{b}$ onto $\vec{a}$

we have $\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}=\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k}$

The scalar projection of $\vec{b}$ onto $\vec{a}$ means the magnitude of the resolved component of $\vec{b}$ the direction of $\vec{a}$ and is given by

The scalar projection of $\vec{b}$ onto

$\vec{a}=\frac{\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}}{|\vec{a}|}$

$\begin{aligned}&=\frac{(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})}{\sqrt{1^2+1^1+1^2}} \\&=\frac{1^2-1^2+1^2}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\end{aligned}$

The Vector projection of $\vec{b}$ onto $\vec{a}$ means the resolved component of $\vec{b}$ in the direction of $\vec{a}$ and is given by

The vector projection of $\vec{b}$ onto

$\vec{a}=\frac{\vec{b} \cdot \vec{a}}{|\vec{a}|^2} \cdot(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})$

$\begin{aligned}&=\frac{(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \cdot(\hat{i}-\hat{j}+\hat{k})}{\left(\sqrt{1^2+1^1+1^2}\right)^2} \cdot(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}) \\&=\frac{1^2-1^2+1^2}{3} \cdot(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})=\frac{1}{3}(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})\end{aligned}$
