The center of mass of a system of particles with masses $1 \, g, 2 \, g$,and $3 \, g$ is at the origin. When a particle of mass $4 \, g$ with position vector $\alpha(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k})$ is added,the center of mass of the system becomes $(1, 2, 3)$. If $\alpha$ is a constant,its value must be:
