Let $\vec{a}=\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$,$\vec{b}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-\hat{k}$,$\vec{c}=\lambda\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ and $\vec{v}=\vec{a}\times\vec{b}$. If $\vec{v} \cdot \vec{c}=11$ and the length of the projection of $\vec{b}$ on $\vec{c}$ is $p$,then $9p^{2}$ is equal to:

$\bar{a}, \bar{b}, \bar{c}$ are nonzero vectors such that $\bar{a}$ is perpendicular to $\bar{b}$ and $\bar{c}$,$|\bar{a}|=1, |\bar{b}|=2, |\bar{c}|=1$ and $\bar{b} \cdot \bar{c}=1$. There is a nonzero vector $\bar{d}$ coplanar with $\bar{a}+\bar{b}$ and $2\bar{b}-\bar{c}$. If $\bar{d} \cdot \bar{a}=1$,then $|\bar{d}|^2=$ (Note that $x$ and $y$ are parameters involved when we write $\bar{d}=x(\bar{a}+\bar{b})+y(2\bar{b}-\bar{c})$)
