Let a⃗=i^+2j^+3k^,b⃗=3i^+j^−k^\vec{a}=\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}, \vec{b}=3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k} and c⃗\vec{c} be three vectors such that c⃗\vec{c} is coplanar with a⃗\vec{a} and b⃗\vec{b} . If the vector C⃗\vec{C} is perpendicular to b⃗\vec{b} and a⃗⋅c⃗=5\vec{a} \cdot \vec{c}=5 , then ∣c⃗∣|\vec{c}| is equal to
