In the diagram, \(OBD\) and \(ACD\) are straight lines.
\(O\) is the origin, the position vector of \(A\) is \(\mathbf a\) and the position vector of \(B\) is \(\mathbf b\).
\(\overrightarrow{BC}=\dfrac13\overrightarrow{OA}\)
\(M\) is the midpoint of \(CD\).
Find the position vector of \(M\).
Give your answer in terms of \(\mathbf a\) and \(\mathbf b\), in its simplest form.[4]
