Q. A tetrahedron is a three dimensional figure bounded by four non-coplanar triangular planes. So, a tetrahedron has four non-coplanar points as its vertices.
Let a tetrahedron has four points A, B, C, D whose co-ordinates are

(x_{i}, y_{i}, z_{i})

, i=1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in a rectangular three dimensional space. The co-ordinates of its centroid are given by

\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{4} x_{i}}{4}, \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{4} y_{i}}{4}, \frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{4} z_{i}}{4}

. The circumcenter of the tetrahedron is the center of a sphere passing through its vertices. So this point is equidistant from each of vertices of tetrahedron.
Let tetrahedron has three of its vertices represented by the points A (6, - 5, -1), B(- 4, 1, 3) & C(2, -4, 18) & its centroid lies at the point (1, -2, 5).
On the basis of above information answer the following questions.The co-ordinate of centre of the sphere circumscribe the tetrahedron is

Q. Consider a sphere passing through the origin and the points

(2, 1, - 1), (1, 5, - 4), (- 2, 4, - 6)

. What is the centre of the sphere?

Q. A metal sphere has radius

R

M

. A spherical hollow of diameter

R

is made in this sphere such that its surface passes through the centre of the metal sphere and touches the outside surface of the metal sphere. A unit mass is placed at a distance from the centre of metal sphere. The gravitational field at that point is

Q. A sphere is pure rolling on a horizontal surface such that its centre moves with 5 m/s as shown in figure. What is the magnitude of velocity of point B on this sphere?
