The coordinates of the position of masses \(m_1=7\) gm, \(m_2=4\) gm, \(m_3=10\) gm are \(\vec r_1=(\hat i+5\hat j-3\hat k),\) \(\vec r_2=(2\hat i+5\hat j+7\hat k),\) \(\vec r_3=(3\hat i+3\hat j-\hat k)\) respectively in cm. The position of the centre of mass of the system would be:
1. \(\left(-\frac{15}{7}, \frac{85}{17}, \frac{1}{7}\right) \text{cm}\)
2. \(\left(\frac{15}{7},-\frac{85}{17}, \frac{1}{7}\right) \text{cm}\)
