(20%) Problem 3: Four point charges of equal magnitude Q = 35 nC are placed on the corners of a rectangle of sides D1 = 18 cm and D2 = 7 cm. The charges on the left side of the rectangle are positive while the charges on the right side of the rectangle are negative. Refer to the figure.
14% Part (b) Enter an expression for the horizontal component of the net force acting on the charge located at the lower left corner of the rectangle in terms of the charges, the given distances, and the Coulomb constant. Use a coordinate system in which the positive direction is to the right and upwards.
