Physics

Three point-like charges: q1=9.8μC, q2=4.8 μC andq3=-9.6 μC, are positioned atthe corners of an equilateral triangle with side lengthL= 3.9 cm shown in the figure below.

Find electrostatic forcesF1,F2 andF3 exerted on each of therespective charges in terms of their components with respect toshown axes:

F1x=___N,  

F1y= ___N.

F2x= ___N,

F2y= ___ N.

F3x= ___ N,

F3y= ___ N.

Check if your numerical results (at least approximately) agreewith the statement that the total forceF=F1+F2+F3exerted on this whole system must be zero.
