    Let a⃗=i^−2j^+k^\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} and b⃗=i^−j^+k^\vec{b} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} be two vectors. If c⃗\vec{c} is a vector such that b⃗×c⃗=b⃗×a⃗\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = \vec{b} \times \vec{a} and c⃗⋅a⃗=0\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a} = 0, then c⃗⋅b⃗\vec{c} \cdot \vec{b} is equal to
