[Math] finding a vector of specific length that is perpendicular to two other vectors

cross productlinear algebravectors

I am looking for a vector of length $3$ that is perpendicular to both u=(-2,0,1) and v=(1,2,-3). I know that the cross product of u and v will give me a vector perpendicular to both of them, but I don't know how to get it to be specifically $3$ units of length. Could anybody help me out with this?

Best Answer

$$ n = 3 \cdot \frac{u \times v}{\|u \times v\|}$$
