Question:

An electronics firm located near Phoenix, Arizona, is considering where to locate a new phone switch that will link five buildings. The buildings are located at (0, 0),

(2, 6), (10, 2), (3, 9), and (0, 4). The objective is to locate the switch to minimize the cabling required to those five buildings.

a. Determine the gravity solution.

b. Determine the optimal location assuming a straight-line distance measure. (If you are solving this problem by hand, iterate the appropriate equations at least five times and estimate the optimal solution.)
