Question
### Electric Dipole Moment Calculation

There are three charges: 

- \( q_1 = -61 \, \text{nC} \)
- \( q_2 = -30.5 \, \text{nC} \)
- \( q_3 = 91.5 \, \text{nC} \)

**Charge Locations:**

- Charge \( q_1 \) is located at \( P_1(0, -21, 0) \)
- Charge \( q_2 \) is located at \( P_2(9, 0, -18) \)
- Charge \( q_3 \) is located at \( P_3(0, 18, 0) \)

All coordinates are in centimeters.

#### Task:

a) Find the dipole moment of this configuration. 

The dipole moment is calculated as a vector quantity that depends on the positions and magnitudes of the charges.
