Question: Let v 1 , dots, v k be the points in R 3 and suppose that for j = 1 , dots, k an object

Let v1,dots,vk be the points in R3 and suppose that for
j=1,dots,k an object with mass mj is located at point vj.
Physicists call such objects point masses. The total mass of
the system of point masses is m=m1+cdots+mk. The center of
gravity (or center of mass) of the system is
?bar(v)=1m[m1v1+cdots+mkvk].
Point
v1,=(6,-4,1),4g
v2,=(5,4,-2),10g
v3,=(-6,-1,-3),4g
v4,=(-7,7,4),2g
Compute the center of gravity of the system consisting of the point masses above.
The center of gravity is at ?bar(v)=1,,
(Simplify your answers.)
 Let v1,dots,vk be the points in R3 and suppose that for
