The position vectors of the vertices A, B, C of a triangle are î + ĵ, ĵ + k̂, and k̂ + î respectively. What is the position vector of its centroid?
The position vectors of the vertices A, B, C of a triangle are î + ĵ, ĵ + k̂, and k̂ + î respectively. What is the position vector of its centroid?
- A. (2î + 2ĵ + 2k̂)/3
- B. (î + ĵ + k̂)/3
- C. 2î + 2ĵ + 2k̂
- D. î + ĵ + k̂
Answer: A) (2î + 2ĵ + 2k̂)/3
Explanation: Centroid = (a + b + c)/3 = (î + ĵ + ĵ + k̂ + k̂ + î)/3 = (2î + 2ĵ + 2k̂)/3.
