To solve the problem, we need to find the locus of the centroid of the tetrahedron formed by the origin \( O \) and the points \( A, B, C \) where the variable plane meets the coordinate axes. The plane is at a constant distance \( p \) from the origin. ### Step 1: Equation of the Plane The equation of a plane at a distance \( p \) from the origin can be expressed as: \[ \frac{Ax + By + Cz + D}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + C^2}} = p \] For simplicity, we can take \( D = -p \) and rewrite the equation as: ...
