If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are non-zero vectors which are linearly dependent such that $\frac{|\vec{a} + \vec{b}|}{|\vec{a} - \vec{b}|} = 2$ and $|\vec{b}| > |\vec{a}|$,then:

Compute the magnitude of the following vectors:
$\vec{a}=\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k} ; \quad \vec{b}=2 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k} ; \quad \vec{c}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \hat{i}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \hat{j}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \hat{k}$

If the position vectors of the points $A$ and $B$ are $2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-\hat{k}$ and $\hat{i}-\hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ respectively,then the unit vector along $\overrightarrow{BA}$ and in the direction of $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is

Let $a = i$ be a vector which makes an angle of $120^\circ$ with a unit vector $b$. Then the unit vector $(a + b)$ is

If $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c} = 3 \hat{i} - \hat{k}$. If $\vec{c} = m \vec{a} + n \vec{b}$ then $m + n = $
