Question 36

A deep-space exploration craft, C1C_1C1​, is traveling with a constant velocity v1=(12i−16j+10k) km s−1\mathbf{v}_1 = (12\mathbf{i} - 16\mathbf{j} + 10\mathbf{k}) \text{ km s}^{-1}v1​=(12i−16j+10k) km s−1. A second craft, C2C_2C2​, maintains a constant velocity v2=(−18i+kj−15k) km s−1\mathbf{v}_2 = (-18\mathbf{i} + k\mathbf{j} - 15\mathbf{k}) \text{ km s}^{-1}v2​=(−18i+kj−15k) km s−1. Given that the motion of C2C_2C2​ is parallel to the motion of C1C_1C1​, determine the value of the scalar constant kkk.
