To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 21.1 Coulomb's Law. Three charged particles are placed at each of three corners of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of length 3.7cm . Two of the particles have a negative charge: q1 = -7.7nC and q2 = -15.4nC . The remaining particle has a positive charge, q3 = 8.0nC . What is the net electric force acting on particle 3 due to particle 1 and particle 2?
Part B
Find the net force ?F? 3 acting on particle 3 due to the presence of the other two particles. Report you answer as a magnitude ?F3 and a direction ? measured from the positive x axis.
Express the magnitude in newtons and the direction in degrees to three significant figures.
